Select one scene from either film you would be interested in discussing in class. Send to me on Tuesday before class.

Share (at least) two pages of draft JP writing. This can be from any part of your JP and might involve more critical engagement with scholars, close readings of your primary sources, work to contextualize and situate your project, etc. It’s also fine to submit an outline. Start wherever you feel is most helpful. This can be drafty! Email to me by Thursday at noon.
