It wouldn’t recommend overdoing it with references in this assignment. I think any citation should be brief and genuinely illuminate your reflection. Don’t take up too much time summarising other people’s thinking or defining technical terms.

I wanted to do 1960s Lord of the Flies or the 300 spartans. I am adding some references at the bottom for the materials discusses. This is more of a rough draft id say 3 pages each, I will expand on this paper later.
General For each of the two papers, you will be responsible for watching a film, writing a 3 to 5 page essay in which you respond to prompts (see below), and then providing a list of “My Criteria for Quality in Film.”
THE PROCESS:
Make any and all arrangements necessary to view the films and write about them: Some of the films may be available for streaming via Netflix or another online content provider; others may be available for checkout from your local public library, while others may need to be rented. You are better off watching these films on the largest possible screen, and at the highest possible resolution.
Make Time to Complete the Assignment: Each paper requires you to watch a film IN ADDITION to the ones you will be watching for the week’s discussion, so be sure to leave yourself enough time to: watch the film, think, write a first draft, edit and revise.
Turn your assignments in by their respective due dates to the correct assignment folder in LEO.
THE CONTENT:
These assignments are reaction papers, not plot summaries or research papers. Write what you have to say about the film, not what others have said, but know how the film was made. The papers will be graded based on:
Evidence that you are reading and viewing the course content, and making comparisons to other relevant films you have seen (in class and as a movie watcher); use of the film vocabulary introduced in class and college-level writing skills (spelling, punctuation, and grammar).
Clear presentation of your opinions and reasonable explanations and justifications to support those opinions: In a 100-level course, you would perhaps be asked to write about what you watched on the screen. In a 200-level course, you are being asked to say what you think about what you watched. In this 300-level course, you should explain why you think the way you do about the film, and then justify your opinions with explanations (using references found in the weekly content in the LEO classroom).
Be sure to correctly spell the names listed in the credits of directors, actors, screenwriters, and other people (to avoid “points” being taken off of the final grade for that paper).
These papers are about your observations, insights and evaluations not only what you can learn by reading up on the film or the filmmaker. Do not just repeat what you find online. Think carefully before you write, be creative and apply what you have been learning in this course.
First Paper Assignment: Film One (F1)
Part 1: View a feature film made between 1940 – 1970 you have not seen before (or will see later in this class) by a great director. Many directors were active both before and after 1970 so make sure you see a pre-1970 FEATURE fiction film.
Suggestion: American directors such as Frank Capra, George Cukor, John Ford, George Stevens, Preston Sturges, Billy Wilder, or William Wyler. Foreign directors such as Ingmar Bergman (Swedish), Luis Buñuel (Spanish), Claude Chabrol (French), Federico Fellini (Italian), Akira Kurosawa (Japanese), Lina Wertmuller (German) or the British team known as “The Archers” made up of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. For other possibilities, try: this. Comment on the specific film you saw in terms of its genre and the quality of the film itself. Pay attention to the camerawork (cinematography), the editing (montage), and the sound (including music). What did you like and what did you dislike? Why do you like the things you like, and why do you dislike the things you dislike? Finally, is the film successful in creating a work of fiction using the craft of filmmaking and considering when it was made? (Note: This is not the same question as whether or not you liked it. It is entirely possible to like a film that you are aware is not very good.)
Part 2 (ESSAY 1) Draw some general conclusions about the work of the director and one of the main actors or actresses. For example let us say you watched the 1962 film Lawrence of Arabia. Did you like David Lean as a filmmaker? Explain your answer. Did you like Peter O’Toole in the role of Lawrence? Why, or why not?
End with your overall impression of the film, including how you see it as an example of the genre and its time period.
PARTS ONE AND TWO SHOULD BE PRESENTED AS A SINGLE ESSAY!
Part 3: (ESSAY 2) On a separate page, insert the heading “My Criteria for Quality in Film.” Under that heading, propose four general statements indicative of your personal taste in movies. These statements should be numbered (1) through (4), and they should be written as complete sentences or a short paragraph. For example, if you commented in your essay that you liked the acting because it was realistic and you liked the script because it had a happy ending, you could propose these two statements as criteria for quality: “(1) Excellent movies feature realistic acting. (2) A movie is more likely to be good if it ends happily.” Think about and then explain what words such as good, excellent, and effective actually mean. Be sure to save your “My Criteria” page to your hard drive—you will be resubmitting an expanded version of it with for the second paper later in this course.General For each of the two papers, you will be responsible for watching a film, writing a 3 to 5 page essay in which you respond to prompts (see below), and then providing a list of “My Criteria for Quality in Film.”
Develop one ethical dilemma vignette, identify what the ethical dilemma is, the characters and your personal feelings or beliefs. For example, you need to play all components, the client, the counselor, the sibling, etc.
This competency examines the origins and consequences of World War I, World War II and the Cold War and their connections to each other. You need to explain how these three wars are connected to each other. You must address the impact of nationalism, imperialism, militarism, technology and twentieth century political ideologies on these wars and their aftermath. Then you need to explore the impact of these conflicts on present-day conflicts. This assessment will allow you to explore those connections and their impact on today through a PowerPoint Presentation.

You need to address the impact of nationalism, imperialism, militarism, technology and twentieth century political ideologies on these wars, their aftermath and today. You must use the information in all of the outcomes for this competency in your project. You will also need a bibliography formatted using the Chicago Manual of Style.
Based on your readings for younger children, is it better to use make-believe settings for problem-solving or their own community for problem-solving? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each approach? Give some examples describing the differences.
A key to tackling the talent war in the health sector is strategic planning for succession. At any given time, a senior member of your team could resign or suffer an unexpected health emergency. The only way to move forward without major organizational disruption is through planning for such occurrences. In this assessment, you will gain experience benchmarking succession planning strategies based on current trends.
Assume your highest performing tenured manager of a 20-person department unexpectedly submitted her 2 weeks’ notice. Your next most tenured employee in the department has only 2 years of experience and is not ready to assume the position at this time. Additionally, there is a major health care organization in your area that seems to have the first pick when recruiting the talent you really need. The executive team for your organization has asked you to address this situation.
Read “Using the Performance Values Matrix Alongside a 9-Box Grid” from Performance Culture, Inc.
Develop a 1,050- to 1,400-word strategic succession plan that addresses the following:
Priorities and steps to mitigate the impact of your employee’s rapid departure
A proposed recruitment plan to fill the managerial position
A preboarding checklist and onboarding plan covering an employee’s first 30, 90, and 180 days with performance metrics
Succession plan policies and practices that could be put in place to proactively avoid this situation
How the proposed plan aligns to current trends in the health care industry
