Paper details:
This paper should be between three and five pages in length. You should write a minimum of three pages, double-spaced in 12-point font with standard margins. No title or title page is necessary. Just put your name, the class, and the date in the upper-right hand corner (this part should be single spaced). If you consult outside sources make certain to provide attribution where appropriate and include an end bibliography correctly and consistently formatted. The bibliography page does not count in the minimum page length requirement. Avoid use of overly conversational language. Avoid overblown or excessively generally pronouncements, especially in your opening paragraph; because this is such a short paper, you should focus in on your topic from the very first sentence. By the end of your first paragraph, your reader should have a clear idea of what your paper is about and how it will be structured. You should write clear, concise sentences logically connected in well-organized paragraphs. Word choice, spelling, and clear sentence structure are crucial. Proofread by reading your paper aloud. See below for grading criteria.

PAPER TWO TOPIC
REPRESENTING LGBTQ IDENTITY: CRITICAL REVIEW OF A TV SHOW/EPISODE OR FEATURE FILM.

For your second paper you will write a critical review of a TV show or movie that represents LGBTQ experience and identity. You should choose one of the options listed below (if you want to write on a movie or show not listed below, you must get this approved by me via email no later than Sunday 29 May). This brief list includes some recent titles and a few going back ten years; most are American, but a couple are French. Many of these were discussed and in some cases included for viewing in the course modules; you are responsible for accessing programs or films not included in the course modules. If you choose to write on a television show, it must be a show you have already watched in its entirety (all seasons, or at least nearly all) and with which you are already very familiar; your review will mostly focus in on analysis of a single episode.

Pretend you’re writing for a good newspaper or magazine. You’re welcome to look up other published reviews, but remember that your review must focus on the question of representing queer identity and so will be different from most more general reviews. You can structure this essay as you think best, but it should do most of the following:

• describe: make sure you provide basic facts for your reader—who made it when did it air/show what is the basic premise how was it received etc.
• analyze and critique: how is lesbian/gay/trans identity and experience represented what sorts of assumptions are made is the historical context important what is the filmmaker/producer/creator trying to do and does it work why or why not remember that in a review you don’t have to just condemn or praise (thumbs up/thumbs down)—usually a little bit of both are necessary
• focus: on one scene or segment that you find particularly relevant to demonstrate your overall argument and describe clearly for your reader; your description should include verbal and visual/filmic elements; the best papers will include concrete description of details to illustrate their points
• relate: to class content, readings, lecture, discussion as relevant; you may also relate to personal experience if relevant or appropriate, but this is not required
