Your Film Review asks you to present one of the following two thesis statements:

1. This film is accurate because ______A______, _______B_______, and ______C________.
2. This film is inaccurate because ____________, ______________, and _______________.

In this assignment you will present your statement. This may change and evolve and that’s all part of the process. This is simply a practice exercise.

You will want to present your statement and then include a brief statement for each of your reasons.

For example using statement 1 with letters A, B and C. You could make your statement and follow it with a list saying “I believe A/B/C proves accuracy because ….” And then go on to explain your line of thinking. Focus on developing your reasons not presentation!
