Describe what you think is the most significant aspect of any one of the documentaries or readings for this module.  Be very specific: identify and quote from your source and then explain to your classmates how this affects your understanding of hip hop and/or cinema.  Make sure you start with a thesis that encapsulates your intellectual analysis of the course materials. Be very specific.

Secondly, pick one of the fictional films, Do the Right Thing or Beat Street, and explain how it relates to issues in the documentary you chose — as an example how Beat Street defies or (does not defy) a specific stereotypes mentioned in Classified X or relates to social issues regarding lack of opportunity as mentioned in a writing. (This is just one example; you can develop others.) You must identify at least one specific scene/dialog/action from the film to support your connection.

In other words: Watch the documentary or read the article.  What seems the most significant idea/aspect to you?  Quote from your source and relate it to information in other readings and one new research item.  Apply the analytical/theoretical concept to a fiction film from the module.

Remember the fictional films are NOT reality.  They are the materialization of expressions of ideologies or refutation of those beliefs that exist in society, sometimes from Hollywood, sometimes from a black perspective.  Your job is to use academic writings and your own interpretations to produce an essay that analyze words, themes, mise en scene as they project beliefs
