Commentaries

• Purpose: to cultivate the habits of critical reading by making arguments and providing evidence

• Content: identify an argument (not merely a topic) from a required reading (with direct quotations
and page numbers) and discuss it in relation to the designated film of the day

• Focus: your ability to articulate someone else’ argument and state your interpretation of a film in
relation to that argument; mere factual information or plot summary won’t count as argument

• Grading: out of 10 points for each commentary, 3 for identification of an argument and logical
transition, 3 points for film discussion focused on details, and 4 for writing (grammar, expression,
coherence, style)
