This is NOT a quiz. Rather, this activity is the third assignment that moves you toward completing your final project that is due in Module 08 (the next module). When you analyze your movie, you are going to rely upon many of your own ideas as they are growing based upon the concepts in this course and textbook. You will also need to gather some others’ ideas to include alongside your own. In other words, you will need to do a bit of research and integrate sources in your final project. This Prep Step helps you start thinking about answers to the final project questions–and continues to help you identify sources that will help you answer some of those questions.
