Assignments
Option 1: 15 minute Referat with written component + 10-12 page research essay.
Option 2: 18-20 page research essay.
The essays/Referate will provide a single, coherent thesis regarding the friendship themes, imagery, or social-historical contexts of one film from the course and one German-language film. The most successful essays will bring theme, imagery, and social-historical context into focus. Research must include citations from at least 2 scholarly books and 1 scholarly journal. These readings may come from the course readings, but the most sophisticated research will add other resources to this pool.
