MIDTERM ESSAY EXAM
Respond to both assignments. For ‘A’ I will be using the SAT writing rubric to score your papers. For ‘B’ I will use the standard review criteria we studied in class.
- “Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it.” (This does NOT refer to failing classes).
We are often entertained by movies which present horrible situations in a lighthearted manner. If we do not cut through the images and witty dialogue, we may never see the evil underlying the light music and the smiles. We were presented with two views of dystopia: District B13 and Pleasantville.
ASSIGNMENT: Is a utopia possible?
1. Choose ONE side of the issue
2. Present your case as strongly as possible
3. Use both District B13 and Pleasantville in your discussions
4. Four to six paragraph
B. You have been asked to write a movie review of Pleasantville AND District B13.
In your review you must:
- compare and contrast the two
- determine which one is better based on the criteria we studied
NOTE: as always, your opinions don’t have to agree with mine
