Shakespeare:

We watched the movie She's the Man.

I assigned our last paper:
  She’s The Man: A Parody of The Twelfth Night


Please use the following rubric:

An introductory paragraph stating your thesis.  In it you should first define parody, and then lead to your opinion.  Did the movie parody the play the 12th Night?

____________________ out of 20 points

A 3 paragraph body that examines the connections between the two.  I would suggest organizing your examples into three main paragraphs: Similarities in story, Characters’, and finally your opinion on if the play is needed to truly appreciate and enjoy the film.  Each paragraph needs to have a transitional thought/idea/word.  Specific examples need to be given from both.  This is not a summary of the movie or play.  You are examining the movie to answer whether it is a successful parody.  Does it work and succeed as a story on its own, or is previous knowledge of the story needed? 

_____________________out of 60

A final conclusion paragraph that restates your thesis.  Please avoid terms like I have proved, etc.  I should not be used in this type of paper.
