Paper Project
Your paper should be around 1200 words. Remember Quality not Quantity. I will not be counting your words.
There should be a one-paragraph synopsis of the film’s plot.
You should clearly identify 5 concepts from Intro to Psych (looking in your textbook’s glossary is a good choice) and explain how those concepts are illustrated in the film.
Concepts are specific ideas, not general topics. (So, a chapter topic– like memory– is not a concept. Episodic memory is a concept.) Use the terminology and information you learned in this course.
Identify your concept with a section heading in bold font.
Provide a critical analysis of the film: How good a job did the film do at accurately depicting each concept? In this section, you will be comparing the way in which the film depicted the concept, to how you would expect the concept to appear in real life, based on what you learned in this course. Explain why you think what you think about the relative accuracy of the concept.
Provide citations for the film, your textbook, and any additional references you use in a reference list at the end of your paper in APA style.
To avoid problems with plagiarism, you are limited to using 2 direct quotes, of no more than one sentence each, in this paper. All other information about your film should be indirect quotes (in your own words).
