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:

 

  1. Discuss/review the theory you’ve been assigned.

  2. Brainstorm/discuss how that theory can be applied to Fight Club.

  3. 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.

  4. Include names of group members.

  5. Edit and proofread your work for clarity and mechanical correctness.

 

  1. 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).
