In today’s class, we resumed what we did yesterday in continuing to proceed in completing our senior paper. Mr. Rivers explained by this point that everyone’s proposal for their senior paper should have been approved. In doing so, everyone should start working on their research, which consists of twenty-five different pieces of research. The twenty-five pieces of research can either be organized on a slideshow or put together in a regular Google doc. Nevertheless, Mr. Rivers broke down that content saying that fifteen of the twenty-five is expected to come from scholarly sources (e.g. from the school’s databases) while five come from your chosen film (e.g. quotes or cinematic evidence). He left five aside as “wildcards” meaning that the last five pieces of research can be pulled from your film or other scholarly sources. All told, each student should have twenty-five different pieces of research from various sources. Mr. Rivers placed a due date on the assignment for February 3rd, which is next Friday. He said that he would leave several days next week open to working on this assignment while other days would follow as normal teaching days. Overall, after Mr. Rivers further explained the upcoming critical review -- which I was absent for since I was tardy to class unfortunately -- the class continued working on gathering their research for the entirety of the class period. Also, Mr. Rivers advocated that each student make a plan up for next week, especially for Monday. He explained that he wouldn’t want anyone to be lost on Monday not knowing what to do.
