The first Quarter cinematic analysis asks each student to watch a film from or set in the Gilded/Progressive era and give a plot summary, a historiography, and analyze the basic hooks of the movie. My first Cinematic Analysis with Quiz show was not my best work. I did not know how to connect the plot summary to a theme without being redundant. After receiving my grade and looking over the plot summary, I realized that it was very bland. With my next cinematic analysis I made as many relations to the theme as I could to try to make the plot summary more interesting. It was during this process that i realized how many things a film has to portray it’s theme. Even the smallest aspects of the film portrays the theme.

Cinematic Analysis (Quarter One)
W.E.B. Du Bois vs. Booker T. Washington
Assignment/Activity Title— W.E.B. Du Bois vs. Booker T. Washington Essay
Year—Freshman Skill— Research, Writing Portfolio Category— Critical Thinking
The W.E.B. Du Bois vs. Booker T. Washington essay was the first essay that I had been assigned in Mr. Grossman’s class. During this period, I was learning a lot about reconstruction and how African Americans were affected by the ending of reconstruction. Many of the things that I was learning appalled me because I did not know that things were so bad. We also touched on the different methods African Americans believed would grant them equal rights.
