Today in class, Mr. Rivers discussed the senior paper and that the topics had to be an academic study. He posted example essays from last year's class on google classroom to help us decide a topic. He gave us class time to look at the examples in order to start forming ideas and to start thinking about what topic we want for our paper. The examples can also be used as a model for punctuation, properly using quotes, grammar, and with MLA or APA format while we are in the process of writing. Also, the paper has to incorporate a film and must be related to the topic of your choice in some way. The film can be used to incorporate evidence in the essay. As of now, I have chosen biology as my topic and still need to find a film that incorporates biology. This three day weekend is just about finding your topic and movie. That is why Mr. Rivers posted homework on google classroom that will help his students find a topic to write for the paper over the weekend. The homework post is labeled select three academic lenses and it is due by Tuesday. The requirements are listed below the title.
