Paper should follow a “statement of purpose – presentation of evidence – conclusion” structure, and include a thesis statement that will guide your writing and research. Here are some basic research questions to get you to start thinking about your film and how you might approach it:

• What (if anything) does the film seem to be saying about such issues as race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, age, and/or ability?

A good way to proceed would be to take one of the above general questions and apply it to your particular film. If you would like to pursue a research question that isn’t related to any of these general questions, please speak with me before you begin working on your paper.
