Movie Paper Guidelines
In this 4- to 5-page, double spaced paper, you will discuss the connections between a movie and the concepts in the text by clearly and thoroughly addressing the topics below.
In order to complete this paper, you will need to watch The Avengers (2012).
• Discuss the periodic phases of development from Chapter 3 of your text. Briefly define and describe each phase and refer to the scene/s in the film where each phase occurs. Be specific in your discussion of how the phases unfold (i.e. is there primary and secondary tension? What phase do these concepts fall under?)
• Identify task, maintenance, and disruptive roles from Chapter 5. Explain each type of role, how it is present in the film, and who takes on the role/s.
• Explain whether The Avengers are a group or a team (Chapter 7). How can you tell? Discuss the 4 Cs and describe how they are present in the film. Use specific scene/s from the film.
• Compare and contrast defective and effective decision making (Chapters 8 and 9). Are one or both of these present in the film? What effect does decision making have on The Avengers? Use specific examples to support your answer.
