Viewing Fight Club through Multiple Critical Lenses:
Group Summaries of Hypothetical Interpretive Essays
Note: when I evaluate your work, I’ll take into consideration the relative difficulty of your assigned theory.
Due date: no later than 5pm, Tues., Nov. 20th . Post in Blackboard "Discussion Board" (you'll see a Forum there for the essays).
Instructions: each group will be assigned one of the critical theories we’ve studied. You should then do the following:
- Discuss/review the theory you’ve been assigned.
- Brainstorm/discuss how that theory can be applied to Fight Club.
- Write up a 1-2 page, typed summary (in older version of Microsoft Word) of a possible critical essay which interprets Fight Club through the assigned lens.
- Include names of group members.
- Edit and proofread your work for clarity and mechanical correctness.
- Copy-paste or attach your summary-essay to the Forum in Blackboard "Course Documents" titled, "Group Essays On Fight Club."
Your summary should include the following:
- A title which makes evident what theory you are applying and to what work.
- A comprehensive thesis statement; the central or “umbrella” assertion which everything in the essay supports or points to.
- Clear claims in support of that thesis.
- Ample grounds (details—summarized—in support of your claims).
