Project #2 Worksheet For next class, Thursday, October 22, I’d like you to watch your movie several times and read the accompanying article (referenced alongside the movie). Then begin drafting responses to the items below using the suggested word count as a guide. This assignment is designed to help you prepare for your essay.
