I’d like to provide some additional guidance as you will soon have to compete and submit an annotated outline for your media review paper (please refer to the course syllabus & schedule for details / deadlines). To summarize, you should briefly outline what happens in the movie / book. Next, you must identify which psychological phenomena you can connect to the story, as it unfolds. Finally, you need to describe the explicit connections that exist between the events in the story and the psychological phenomena you’ve studied, with specific citations to the text.

Here are a few sites that might help this week:
