WORKING SEPARATELY BUT EXCHANGING IDEAS

General comments

Review: The previous step introduced the very difficult film-to-film comparison process. This exercise takes this farther and your ICE is the supreme statement on it, although that will be mediated with the final joint statement. Film-to-film comparisons fall quickly into superficial observations if you don't stick to your guns and look deep into the values and worldviews that help create and constraint their narratives.

Note: This step has only two questions to answer (and two to respond to so, in total, four short mini-essays). But these brief statements stand on the the quality of your efforts. So, lots of good thinking, then clear expression of results. This is the most difficult of the three PCSs, and with this PCS we are beginning to move into the zone where I grade from the frame of mind of "Has the student understood the rules, goals and methods of this class well enough to use them effectively?" This will continue to become more important as we move towards the end of the term. The ICE and Midterm 03 are "hottest" on this point but the final joint essay is important as well (it is just that the complicated nature of that assignment limits freedom of expression somewhat).

How to complete the JES07 & JES07R steps

Use the same sending / exchanging process that is described in JES05 & JES05R.
