Project Overview

You have two options for your communication project. The first is to write a 2-3 page movie analysis where you analyze communication that takes place between characters in a movie.

I Picked the movie JUNO so please use that movie (and for this project I will continue to use you as my tutor)

Turn in your first project assignment according to your choice of project:

  1. If you chose Movie Analysis: Submit an outline of your proposed project per guidelines in the project description you received during Module 07.
  2. If you chose Reflection: Submit Questions 1 and 2 from your list of five questions in the project description you received during Module 07.

As you work on your project, keep the following in mind:

  • Write with clear, concise, complete sentences, transitions between paragraphs, standard spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
  • If you choose to write the movie analysis, be sure to cite the title of the movie, main characters, director, and plot summary.
