ICS 9 Extra Credit Movie ListYou may not turn in an essay about a movie unless it is on this list.
See instructions below for adding movies to the list.
ICS 9 movies may not be watched for extra credit for any other course that you may be taking from Mrs. Parker. These movies only count for extra credit for ICS 9.
Choose a movie to watch and then write an essay of at least 2 pages, typed, double-spaced. Don't make the margins or the print huge.
DO NOT SUMMARIZE THE MOVIE PLOT.
Your essay must demonstrate which ICS 9 concepts from our textbook occur in this movie.
Clearly state the concepts and the movie event, character action(s), events, etc. that relate to the concept. You need to print the font as bold of the relevant movie "parts" and text concepts
If you fully follow the directions each movie essay can be worth as much as 25 extra credit points.
Print this rubric and staple it a top your essay for each extra credit movie found at this link:
http://facultyfiles.deanza.edu/gems/parkergerri/9ExtraCreditrubric.doc
Fill out the blanks by PRINTING legibly in pen only.
Each movie essay must have the rubric sheet stapled on top.
The essay should be thoughtful and you should provide the movie's characters' and your reactions to the concepts/events that you identify.
For instance the film Avalon is the story of Russian Jewish and Polish Jewish immigrant families through 3 generations. List the events for instance that are significant to the Americanization of the family members. Stereotypes that the immigrant family faced. Historical events that applied directly to the racial/ethnic group portrayed in the film. .
Movie extra credit essays are due on the scheduled day in the course calendar. You may not watch a movie more than once. If you think a film should be added to the list, send me an email at parkergerri@fhda.edu. If I agree, and that's not a challenge, just a request that you explain to me why you think the movie is appropriate for extra credit viewing for this class. I will then add the title to the list.
Chapter 1: Basic Concepts in the Study of Racial and Ethnic Relations.
