Then, pick FIVE concepts of interpersonal communication that we have covered this semester (in the Weekly Learning Resources and Discussions) and describe how each was depicted in the movie.
The paper is to be single-spaced.
Use the following formula when completing this assignment:
Your paper should still include an introduction about the movie, the analysis, and a conclusion.
Introduction (1/4 page minimum): (worth 5 points)
Your introduction should gain your readers attention, introduce the movie, and provide a clear and brief preview of the five concepts your paper will address.
Analysis Portion (2 1/2 pages minimum): worth 85 point total – 17 per concept analysis
Use the following formula when completing the analysis portion:
Bold the concept, then
1. Describe concept 1 in your own words (using the Weekly Learning Resources and discussions – feel free to read ahead). You are not required to use outside additional sources for this assignment.
You should be referencing relevant information from the Weekly Learning Resources and material from the Weekly Discussions. Be sure to use appropriate APA citations (both in-text and full references for the references page).
2. Discuss how concept 1 is found in your movie of choice.
3. Describe at least three examples from the movie that show this concept.
1-4 should comprise at least 1/2 of a single-spaced page for each concept.
You will be analyzing five separate concepts. You may be over, but not under the half-page requirement per concept.
Please note that a concept is a whole idea, such as relationship self-disclosure, issues of self, listening. Thus, the five forms of listening would count as ONE concept, not five. The five conflict management strategies would count as one concept, not five.
Conclusion (1/4 page minimum):
(worth 5 points)
Your conclusion should provide closure, share lessons learned, and a concluding summary.
Reference page (worth 5 points)
A reference page in proper APA format
should be presented at the end of your paper. This is in addition to the in-text citations that should be found throughout the analysis portion of your submission.

Be sure to use proper format with APA citations (both in-text and full references)
