Dear ENG 270 Students:

Use this class blog  to complete the extra assignments for the films. You should write a 500 word critical review of a key scene from one of the films.  In your review you will want to explain how the scene you have chosen makes a statement about American identity.

What can you argue about identity and this scene? You should also relate your scene to a key term, convention, or theme that we have explored this semester.

Only one entry per student per film is allowed. You may write about all four films for a total of 100 points (25pts each). This assignment is worth up to 3% of your final grade in the course.

To get started, see your TA for access to authoring the blog.

You may add images or video clips to your posts. Please make sure you tag your post in the categories section by selecting your TA’s name.
