For each short answer question response, your answers must contain a definition (conceptualize /theorize/philosophize); an explanation (topics are usually contested so be analytical about your response referring to arguments or counter arguments about the concept/theme); and provide one illustrative example that deepens the definition of the concept/theme (cite details/evidence) iv.

Introduce your response to the question in your beginning paragraph of the essay (posit as an argument/thesis/theme that guides the rest of the essay; synthesize your argument if there are multiple questions or iterations to the question), provide support for your response in a sequenced order, using as much course referenced detailed evidence as possible (be illustrative and analytical), and conclude by summation (even if a small paragraph at the end). ii. For essay question responses, reference books, course materials (including lectures) and movies assigned since after spring break to April 20th. iii. Spend at least 30 minutes on EACH question – write at least four to five double-spaced exam pages for each question iv. This section will be 70% of your total final exam grade f.
