Seminar Reflection/Synthesis (due end of class Friday)
1.
Reflection/Self-Assess
- Reflect on the outcome of the seminar. Consider your own performance and the seminar overall. How did you do personally and how did the group do collectively? Based on the rubric, what grade do you deserve on the seminar?
- React to your peers’ ideas (be specific) and the meaning you all constructed together. Was there anything that enlightened you? Something you particularly disagree with? How did your thinking about the film change as a result of this seminar?
2.
Synthesis
- Make an interpretive claim about the film and support it with evidence. Your claim may be something you develop further from your seminar prep, or it may be a new idea that you acquired during the seminar.
- RESOURCES ON MAKINGS CLAIMS
