Your paper is a short collaborative paper with your partner. It will focus on the film Guess Who’s coming to Dinner. It will incorporate at least one secondary source.
The paper should focus on communicating one idea that the film expresses. This short three-paragraph essay should include an introduction, complete with a proper academic thesis; a body, which fully explores your subject using at least one secondary source; a conclusion that gracefully exits the reader out of the text. (Please do not use in summary or in conclusion. Please think about what you have argued and discuss the relevance of this discussion.)
The first page of your paper should include a proper heading: your class, your names, and the date on the left hand side of the page at the top. You will then skip a few lines and begin with your title. You will begin your discussion on that same page. Your paragraphs should be full paragraphs of approximately 150-200 words.
