THEA 100 Spring 2020 Research Paper Prompt

As per the email regarding the new structure of the class, you are to adjust your Final Group Project work based on your quarantine situation. Whether you choose the “Create My Own” option, or the “Power-Point” option, your research paper prompt will remain the same, which is the following:

Research your assigned job in the project within the context of one of the following industries: Television, Film, or Theatre. If you are doing all of the jobs, because you are doing the project alone or with very few people, pick the job that interests you the most (ie: playwright, director, costume designer, lighting designer, sound designer, dramaturg, set designer, and or actor).

Once you have picked the job you are going to write about, include the following in your paper, with ​one paragraph for each section (a paragraph is about 3-5 sentences).​ Please include the following in your paper:

1. Why you chose to write about this job. (25 Points) 2. An influential person in the field with this job. (25 Points) 3. Educational Requirements. (25 Points) 4. Pay Scale. (25 Points) 5. Job Demand. (25 Points) 6. Job Requirements. (25 Points) 7. How your job helps the production. (25 Points)

In your paper, you should cite your sources from websites you find, using a Works Cited Page. Note that the works cited page is worth 25 points. ​The only way to not​ get these points is to not include a Works Cited page!

Total Points: 200

Your paper should be MLA format (“Times New Roman” font, 12pt Sized, Double Spaced.)

The paper is due Thursday, April 16th at 11:59pm via Blackboard.

If you would like an additional 5% on your paper, have it submitted by Thursday, April 9th at 11:59pm via Blackboard.
