Zero Dark Thirty analysis rubric (you have a choice to write a paper about the film we watched in class or the original Country Paper from the syllabus – below):
You are to write a 5-8 page analytical paper about this film and its connection to our course material. Ask yourself questions like – how has what we’ve learned in this class helped you understand this film? How have the actions in the film helped or hurt U.S. foreign policy going forward? This event (the killing of Osama Bin Laden) happened during the Obama administration — remember, Obama made a speech in Cairo shortly after taking office trying to “reset” relations between the U.S. and the Muslim world. Is it possible to reset relations after some of the events in this film?
This paper should not be a summary of the film but instead your analysis of it.
Guidelines:
Use credible sources – avoid 24-hour news channels (Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, etc.) as well as opinion essays… If you are unsure of your sources, please email me.
Be specific. Explain what the United States has done in these countries and how it’s changed over time (if applicable). You are to be the expert about your country and US relations
Avoid replacing arguments with examples. Use examples to illustrate a general claim, not as a replacement for them. Examples by themselves tend toward selection bias and hasty generalizations.
I am interested in content, not clever rhetorical flourish. Thus, avoid filler material… DO NOT USE BLOCK QUOTES FROM THE ARTICLES OR READINGS. Direct quotes should be no longer than 2 sentences, MAXIMUM.
If you do not cite, even when you paraphrase, it will be considered plagiarism. PLAGIARIZED PAPERS WILL BE PENALIED EITHER BY AN F ON THE PAPER OR THE COURSE AND WILL BE REPORTED TO THE DEAN.
PROOFREAD YOUR PAPER. You will be marked off for typos, punctuation errors, and/or major disorganization.
The heading of your paper should be your name ONLY. I don’t need what class this is for, my name, the date, your favorite color, and your dog’s name.
1-inch margins all around
Double-spaced (except footnotes)
Page numbers required
Times New Roman, 12-point font required.
The paper is to be at least 8-10 pages long, not less (No cover page required).
Use footnotes, single-spaced, and put full bibliographic information in them (in MLA or APA formats – consistently). All statistics, direct quotes, and non-general knowledge information should be cited, and they should be single-spaced.[1] We will go over how to do them in class.
Bibliography (Works Cited page) required – not included in the 8-10 pages. Your sources should be in alphabetical order.
