The main task of this Movie Quest is to present a movie genre of your choice.

Among the information you should give to your classmates, there must be:

• A conclusion
You should synthesize the collected material in a personal way.

Present the material in class (power point presentation)
Step 1

Reviewer: Summarize the main characteristics of the chosen genre, give examples and present conclusion.
Advocate: Present positive aspects of the genre.
Critic: Present negative aspects of the genre.
Step 3
Now you are ready to get started on your MovieQuest! Choose two or three movies that accurately represent your genre. Visit Filmsite, Internet Movie Data Base and Metacritic. Study the reviews and get the information you need.
Step 4
You got the information you needed!! Organize them with Organizing your Argument and Organizing A Research Project.
