  • Title: “Exploring the Intersection of Race and Poverty: A Critical Response to the Documentary ’13th’ and Chapter 6 of the Textbook”

    Required Format:
    Paper has to be 3-4 double-spaced pages. DO NOT exceed 4 pages.
    11 or 12-point font size must be used, preferably Arial or Times New Roman.
    Use 1” margins on the top and bottom and at least 1” margins on the left and right.
    Style and Structure:
    The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate that you understand the documentary you have watched −and the chapter/ material you have read− and that you have thought about it enough to be able to make an original response to it.
    Please note that response papers are not exercises in simply summarizing the assigned readings. Instead, you must critically respond to the ideas being presented by answering the questions stated below.
    Support your argument by drawing on the lecture PowerPoints and readings.
    You do not need a bibliography, but acknowledge other sources directly in the text (e.g., “As Dr. Amin described in the PowerPoint…”, “In the textbook…”, “According to Durkheim…”)
    I strongly recommend writing in the first person.
    The layout of your paper should be like that of your average English essay with an
    introduction, a thesis statement, body paragraphs, and a conclusion.
    Remember that this is a formal paper. Keep your language formal and avoid contractions.
    Below are some guidelines to help you in preparing a clear and thoughtful reaction paper:
    First, give details of the documentary (Introduction)
    What is the Title of the documentary? Who are the intended audience?
    Second, summarize the documentary (1-2 paragraphs)
    What is the subject of the documentary? / What is the documentary about?
    Third, critically evaluate and extend the main theoretical arguments (1-2 paragraphs)
    What is/are the purpose/ main ideas of the documentary?
    What is the main message the director wants to get across to the audience? Do you agree or disagree with these ideas?
    What are the strengths and weaknesses of the documentary?
    Fourth, state your prior knowledge of the subject (1-2 paragraphs)
    In this step, you need to synthesize the assigned chapter with the documentary. Was the documentary related to the assigned chapter? How?
    Try to synthesize the main purpose/s of the documentary with the main idea/s discussed in the assigned chapter? Make sure to utilize concepts, definitions, theories, and/or examples from the assigned chapter and relate them to what you have watched in the documentary.
    Finally, give personal comments and recommendation (1-2 paragraphs)
    In this final step, you need to provide a summary of your personal feedback on the documentary.
    Did you like the documentary?
    Which part of the documentary do you like most? and Why? What have you learned from it?
    What impact did this documentary have on you?
    Was there anything that surprised you?
    What are the drawbacks of the documentary?
