15 Aug Write paper about the movie “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington”
In these response papers, you are expected to make a compelling argument directed towards a political science professor for why the film should be shown to their class. You should provide a short summary of the film (i.e. no more than 150 words) and then discuss (1) how the film relates to concepts discussed in the course and (2) how the film relates to contemporary or historical political phenomenon. You are evaluated on these two criteria and more generally, by demonstrating your understanding of course concepts. These reviews must not exceed 700 words in length (double-spaced with normal font and margins) and should be no shorter than 500 words in length. No citations are required for these reviews; however, you should keep in mind that I can submit your paper to Turnitin.com to evaluate for plagiarism if I suspect.
