Watch the documentaries “Chaos” and “Nova Great Math Mystery”. They are two documentaries on mathematical subjects. Each is just under an hour in length. Watch them both and write a composition comparing them. In some ways they are different: style, depth of presentation, focus, comprehensibility, appeal, answering the question they posed, entertainment value, etc., and in some ways they are similar. Please DO NOT write a composition that merely summarizes the contents of the documentary. ( I have just watched both of them and I am familiar with their contents). Go beyond that and make a comparison.
Links to the documentaries are below.
length 700 word minimum to 1100 word maximum describing your viewpoint about the documentaries.
Everyone in the class has either completed or is taking an English composition class, so writing a college level essay should be within every students capability. However I want to share some information that was written on the blackboard of a classroom.
Composition hints:
Introductory paragraph: Tell then what you are going to tell them.
Body of composition: Tell them.
Concluding paragraph: Tell them what you told them.
I often suggest that you write the body of the composition first, then write a three or so sentence introductory paragraph, and then write a three or so sentence concluding paragraph. Put them together in proper order, read it again, make any final corrections, and submit it.
Please double space all submissions.
