The Blind Side

Your Powerpoint Presentation can be seen as the outline for your formal Analysis Paper.
It should be 1300 words or better (~5 pages, plus References page);
Please include the word count;
Note: Papers under the 1300 word count will be prorated on points.
Please include full Name, Course Number (IDS-350), Day/Time of class (or ONLINE);
Please include the Title of Book or Film under analysis;
You must have at least 2 References, including the Film or Book you are analyzing and the textbook. (See the template paper for how to reference these citations.)
This is a formal paper, so it needs to be formatted using a stylebook format. Any stylebook format will do (i.e., ASA, APA, AAA, MLA, Law, Medical, etc.) If you are unfamiliar with a stylebook format, you can use the Analysis Paper Template sample, (which is a dated, simplified APA format). Include your word count.
In the analysis, give examples of 5 or more Diversity/ Social Issues/ Problems and/or Sociological concepts from the film; (one concept should be theoretical)
You can use the Concepts/Topics List as a guide; (See Below.)
Any Topic from the textbook is also fair game (see Chapter titles).
Remember the number 5: minimum of 5 analysis examples from the film/book; min. of 5 slides for the presentation (plus title slide); min. of 5 minutes for presentation (if live/F2F); min. of 5 pages for the paper (>1300 words);
You can use the Analysis Paper Template sample to help you get started;
