Specific requirements for the reaction/exploration essays: . • Original writing, authored by you. 1-3 pages in length. Double spaced, 12-point font, Times New Roman, 1 inch margins on all sides. Word format (*.doc or *.docx). No cover page header should include course information and your name. Identify necessary material used in the essay for example, the film's title, director, date of release, principle actors. When films are references in the paper, the film's title should be underlined. In-text citations and a reference page should be included (APA format). One or more sources - outside sources (meaning written material besides that which is required in class) – must be used. Peer reviewed literature is strongly preferred. Avoid using too much plot summary. You should not spend a great deal of space summarizing the film (assuming one or more films are the subject matter for the essay). Sharing too much plot summary is perhaps one of the most common mistakes that have been made with these assignments. Some plot/story summary is okay, but you are strongly encouraged to limit it to one very brief paragraph (e.g., three or four sentences at the most).
