English 10
Heroic Quest Analysis Essay

Movie Analysis Essay, 1 major grade
You will write an essay in which you analyze the heroic quest stages in the movie watched in class (these will be different).

This is a process piece and will be graded as follows:
15 points = Brainstorming (handout from “movie day”)
25 points = Revised and Edited Rough Draft**
60 points = Final Draft

**If you fail to revise and edit, you will receive 0 (ZERO) points, and what you may consider a final draft will be considered a rough draft. You cannot have a final draft without a revised and edited rough draft!

**I must see evidence of revision and editing. This means you must revise and edit with a different color pen! No exceptions!

**Revise to remove second-person (“you” “your” “yours” “yourself”)
-5 points for each instance of second-person

Final draft due: October 22/23 (odd/even)

You will be given time in class to work on the essay, but you will not have all class to do this. You are responsible for working on the essay outside of class, too.

If you want me to look at your essay, you must have it typed and bring it to me by October 21 (3rd period) or October 22 (2nd and 6th periods). I will then look at the paper with you and return it to you to take home and finish.

An extra 7 points will be given if you type it.
See syllabus for typed work requirements/format. If you do not follow the required format, you will not receive the extra points.

Illegible work: If your work is handwritten and I can’t read it, it will be returned to you. You will lose 15 points, be required to type it, and will NOT receive the extra credit.
