For this assignment, draw on your notes and class discussions from the films Totally Under Control and All in My Power to analyze the impact of the pandemic on public health and medicine in the U.S. According to the films, what deeper systemic issues or problems came to light as a result of how the pandemic played out in the U.S.? You may also draw on your own experiences during the pandemic, but be sure to tie these experiences into the broader themes and issues emphasized in these two documentaries, and be sure to provide specific examples from the films.
HOW WRITTEN WORK WILL BE EVALUATED:
I am less interested in a regurgitation of facts than a thoughtful analysis of the question, based on evidence from films (along with your own experience).
Planning and organization- Before you jump into answering the question, make sure that you have prepared an outline of your essay. Each paragraph that you then write should correspond to a specific point that you have in your outline.
Introduction and thesis- This question requires that you come up with an argument—or thesis—that directly answers the question. This thesis statement should be in your introductory paragraph. The rest of the introduction should state the meaning and significance of the issue as it will be discussed in the body of the essay (you don’t need to spend time repeating or paraphrasing the question, or describing the specific scheme of organization that your essay will take).
Body-The body of your paper should provide examples and evidence to support your thesis. You may express an opinion, but your opinion should be based on the materials and evidence, or your own experience.
Conclusion-Use your final paragraph not only to summarize your main points, but to demonstrate the significance of your findings.
Proofreading- Please reread your essay in order to confirm that your have conveyed what you intended.
