UCSD The Goddess Fallen Woman of Shanghai Paper

Purpose: to cultivate the habits of critical reading by making arguments and providing evidence
Content: identify an argument (not merely a topic) from a required reading (with direct quotations and page numbers) and discuss it in relation to the designated film of the day
Focus: your ability to articulate someone else’ argument and state your interpretation of a film in relation to that argument; mere factual information or plot summary won’t count as an argument
