The film is The Notebook with Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams

Writing Your Essay
In the introductory paragraph, provide the following elements:

Offer a creative opening for the paper that grabs the reader’s attention.
Briefly summarize the film. (Consider this: What is the title? What is the plot? Who are the main characters?)
Offer a clear thesis for the essay. A thesis statement explains to the reader how you plan to interpret the subject, tells the reader what to expect from the paper (road map), and answers the ‘so what’ question about how this film can be interpreted using vital Interpersonal Communication theories and concepts.
Provide an overview of how the paper will be organized that includes the specific concepts that will be discussed.
In the body of the essay, using separate paragraphs, analyze five different interpersonal communication concepts (from at least three different chapters) that are demonstrated in the movie.

For each interpersonal concept:
Define the concept using the textbook; provide an example from the film that demonstrates the concept. Be specific: describe the character(s) and/or event(s) where the concept is demonstrated & use terms from the text.
Evaluate whether the concept is applied effectively or ineffectively (good example or bad example). Take a position and explain why you believe this to be true.
Analyze the consequences of the concept’s effective or ineffective application. Consider short-term and long-term consequences to the character(s) and plot. (Project beyond the actual movie).
In the concluding paragraph summarize your insights regarding interpersonal communication as demonstrated in the film and the major lessons to be learned. Provide a closing sentiment for the essay.

Your essay must be at least 4-5 pages. Use the default margins on your computer or make sure you are allowing no more than one inch for margin on any side.
Your essay must be formatted using APA or MLA formatting, typed in Times New Roman 12 point font, and include reference listing for the textbook, your movie, and the additional required resource.
Use “evidence” to support your answers. Provide examples from the movie where concepts were demonstrated.
Solid “A” papers will offer strong analysis that is based on examples and detail from the movie and that uses terminology from the text to correctly identify concepts.
Average “C” papers will offer general statements and vague descriptions from the movie and will lack use of terminology from the text.
Below average “D” papers will simply provide a “list” of questions with short, underdeveloped answers that make little reference to specifics in the movie or terminology from the text.
