The stronger essays will:
Adequately use 5 films at some point in the essay. This does not mean in every part of the prompt. Strategically use the best films (i.e., dialogue, major sequences, song lyrics) for each specific question asked.
Utilize multiple resources as evidence for the argument (including stage shows, theme park attractions, relevant merchandise, and so forth).
This includes independent research of Disney material culture and transmedia (see lecture slides for examples and citations).
Engage several of the assigned readings (at least 5). To cite, simply include in brackets the number assigned in the syllabus, a comma, then page number. Example: “That man has need of heroes can not be denied. The history of western civilization is embroidered with names and legends cherished by – often created by – the great need of generations long past. Names alone call forth an age – Ulysses, Achilles, Beowulf, Charlemagne, Arthur and Lancelot, Robin Hood” [17, 938]. If you paraphrase, still cite. There is no need to use any outside secondary
scholarshio. There is no need to cite the films or lecture material
Fully meet the requirements of the prompt in a well-organized and well-written essay (i.e., with an introduction, body, and conclusion) at least one page single-spaced in length.
