For more details on what is expected, and recommendations for a strong write-up, please see bullet point list below.

• Written clearly, proofread, organized in a clear and effective way (no more than 300 words per question)
• Addresses the questions directly and completely (especially, if there are multiple parts to the question)
• Demonstrates (even highlights) knowledge of the course materials, especially by constructing answers with examples that connect readings, lectures, and films
• Integrates quotations from textbook, readings, lecture videos, or films (needs to be cited correctly, MLA style (Links to an external site.), and appropriately—not too much quotation, addressed in your own words after citing)
• Demonstrates deep analytical and critical thinking
• Attentive to the political and historical context of the period, film, filmmaker, movement, etc. being written about
• When appropriate, develops a strong argument that is proven through well-chosen evidence that is vividly described in your answer

2) Pick one point of similarity and one point of contrast between the films The Spook Who Sat by the Door and Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song!. In your comparison, please make an argument about the political effectiveness of the films in relationship to one another. Some questions you could consider: Which film is more effective in delivering its political message? Why? Is there a specific strength in one that is not in the other? Are there distinct strengths in both that serve different purposes?
