Movies are often based on historical events. However many times Hollywood takes
liberties with the facts to create dramatic scenes

In some cases, when a particular movie becomes popular, Hollywood’s version of
the become the accepted version.

This paper gives you the chance to explore the historical background of your
favorite movie.

You may choose any movie whose subject matter is within the time periods
covered in this class. (World History: Ancient Civilizations to the present)

Once you have watched it, pick 3-5 specific (no less than 3 and no more than 5)
facts that the movie presents and analyze them for their historical accuracy.

Your analysis could include such topics as the clothes of the time period (Were
they accurate?), the roles of the female characters (Would the character really
have acted the way they did?), factual errors such as laws that were in effect
in the movie that were not in effect in actual history (EX: Portraying women
voting in 1860 when women did not get the right to vote nationally until 1920).

Paper Requirements:

5-7 Typed Pages

Your paper must be at least 5 pages of text in length. Paper under 5 pages in
length will be given a grade of ZERO. However, the paper can exceed 10 pages.
Cover pages, endnotes, illustrations, maps etc do not count as pages of text.
If you use footnotes you MUST extend your paper so that you have at least 8
pages of written text.
Font size must be 12 pitch and not above. The paper must be double spaced.

Primary Sources

When gathering your facts, you MUST include at least 1 primary source in your
paper. A primary source is something written in the time period. (A secondary
source is something written after the event has occurred) For example if you
are discussing the role of women during World War Two in the Pacific you could
refer to the War Department’s training manuals for nurses, published during the
war as a primary source.

Simply putting in a quote from someone that is reprinted in a secondary source
is not sufficient. For example a quote from Joan of Arc that you found in a
biography of Joan of Arc written by a 20th century author is not a primary source.
A quote from a medieval scholar taken from a book written by the medieval
scholar is a primary source.

An encyclopedia is NOT a primary source.

20 points will be deducted from your paper if 1 primary source is not used.

If you are at all in doubt about primary and secondary sources don’t hesitate
to ask.

Reference
Citations: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

Full endnote/footnote citations (University of Chicago Manual of Style, APA or
MLA) are required.

All style aspects MUST be taken from one of these manuals.

This is a history paper. Any and all statements of fact in your paper MUST be
referenced. EX: A statement of “Abraham Lincoln was elected in 1860 by a
majority of the voters in the North.” must be referenced with the source of
your information. Otherwise my comment to you will be “How do you know this?”

Your reference MUST be included immediately following the fact you have
presented inside the text of the paper. It is not sufficient to simply list the
reference book in the bibliography without making a direct correlation to the
specific facts taken from the book. If you are at all unclear about referencing
footnotes/endnotes PLEASE contact the instructor.

Once you have selected a style manual, the entire paper must be completed in
this style.

All quotations used in this paper must be done in accordance with the style
manual selected. No more than 20% of your paper shall be quotations without
prior approval from the instructor. This paper is intended to show your
analytical ability and not how well you can quote what someone else says or
thinks.

Failure to properly cite information will result in a significant loss of
points. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to contact me.

Valid Academic Sources:

You may use any and all sources at your disposal: Internet, special edition
DVDs, books, articles, journals. However all of your sources must NOT be of one
specific type. You must have a minimum of 2 different types of sources. (This
means you MAY NOT use all internet or all text sources) 20 points will be
deducted if all of your sources are of the same type.

You will be graded on the academic quality of your sources. For example:
MTV.com is NOT a valid academic source unless you are writing a paper about
MTV. .whitehouse.gov/”>www.whitehouse.gov, .libraryofcongress.gov/”>www.libraryofcongress.gov or .newyorktimes.com/”>www.newyorktimes.com are valid sources.
Encyclopedias etc use should be kept to a minimum and make up NO MORE than 10%
of your bibliography. 20 points will be deducted if your bibliography has more
than 10% of its sources as encyclopedia etc. (This includes wikepedia.com etc)

If you are at all unsure of your sources, particularly internet sources, don’t
hesitate to contact the instructor.
