establish the general information about the movie and/or book that you are analyzing.
Superhero Film
You Must watch the movie
presentation should be no more than 7
Your first presentation is on a Disney or superhero movie and/or book of your choice. Your presentation should include ONLY 5 slides with images from the movie and/or book that illustrate the points that you are making.
Slide 1.) establish the general information about the movie and/or book that you are analyzing. Give the publication information, including years of release and major creators (authors, illustrators, screenwriters, and/or directors).
Slide 2.) provide a focused analytical commentary on what is “superheroic” about this movie and/or book, using the definitions we established in class. You will want to include at least one specific example. As a reminder, in class we said that a superheroic character exhibits charisma, personality, emotionality, courage, bravery, selflessness, a moral code, an interest in growing/learning/transformation, ambition, perserverance in the face of hardship, and a commitment to using their special gifts and abilities. We said that an author/creator who is superheroic: innovates, invents, inspires, influences, has imagination, and is introspective (i.e. sees the complexity in humanity and presents it in their characters and stories).
Slide 3.) analyze the movie and/or book by applying any of the five approaches to literary study that are especially relevant (Race/Ethnicity/Diversity Studies, Class/Social Rank Studies, Socio-political). You will want to include at least two examples.
Slide 4.) if you are presenting on a film, include a VERY BRIEF movie clip (one minute or less) to serve as an example of one of the points you make in #2 or #3.
Slide 5.) a page indictating Works Cited and Works Consulted
Important: Since this presentation involves research in the form of gathering information about everything from comic book characters’ stories to historical events, your PowerPoint presentation must include complete citations formatted according to MLA guidelines for any and every source that provides you with any information that you don’t know going into the research—any historical information whether or not you think it’s “common knowledge,” any information that you even summarize—and you must make sure that any words that you quote directly from your sources are in quotation marks, even if you’re just directly quoting a phrase. Your final slide should be a “Works Cited” PowerPoint slide, and your other slides should include in-text citations and attributive tags to indicate exactly what information you are taking from your sources, per MLA rules. Marymount University defines the failure to cite sources—whether in a typed research paper or in another format, such as a PowerPoint presentation—as an academic integrity violation. So what this means is that you need to keep track of where you’re getting your information while you are in the process of collection information, whether your sources are in a DVD extra feature, a Wikipedia page, or a scholarly article.
