In preparation for this assignment, watch Guardians of the Galaxy (2014). This is not a group assignment. It must be completed and submitted individually. Make sure to use the assigned film in your analysis. If you use a different film or your in-class group you will earn a zero. Your analysis must be typed. Identify the question number and the question then answer each question concisely. Use the format indicated below. Show that you clearly understand these concepts and can identify them when you see them in action. Do not use essay format. If you submit it in essay format, I will not read it and you will earn a zero. Remember to use the same group throughout your analysis (this means that all group members must not only be discussed but be part of the group from beginning to end). Do not include individuals who are not truly part of the group or switch between groups. Do not recount the plot. Do NOT include any kind of critique of the film in your analysis. I do not care whether you liked the movie or not. Films are not used for entertainment value. If, in your analysis, you make any mention of how much you like or dislike the film 10% of the total points available will be deducted. This includes explaining any of the logistics associated with the film (actor names, director, date, etc). You must include the film title and the names of the characters in your group but no other logistics from the film. Format: Answer the questions below. Use the appropriate numbers and include the questions. Point values for each question have been identified on the rubric. Do not use essay format. If you submit it in essay format, I will not read it and you will earn a zero. Questions must be in bold to differentiate between question and answer. For example: Problem Solving 1: a. Using your own words, define Problem Solving. Answer: a. I am not going to actually answer this for you but you should be able to see that the answer is clearly different from the question. b. Identify a specific scene in which the group needed to solve a problem and identify the specific problem to be solved. Answer: b. I am not going to actually answer this for you but you should be able to see that the answer is clearly different from the question. c. Explain how the group solved the problem. Explain each step in the process, who was involved and what the outcome is. Answer: c. I am not going to actually answer this for you but you should be able to see that the answer is clearly different from the question. This assignment is worth 130 points. Failure to include the questions and answers typed as the example above will result in a penalty of 10%. Again, do NOT use essay format. Answer each question individually & identify by number and letter. (Questions not included and/or typed in bold = -10%) Your analysis will not be accepted if it is not typed. Late and/or e-mailed assignments will not be accepted. I recommend you submit your analysis no later than 2 days before it is due so that if something goes wrong you have time to fix it. No excuses or late submissions will be accepted. For this assignment, answer the questions below based on what you observe in the film Guardians of the Galaxy (2014). ___________________________ 1.

Reference List: Basic Rules
Note: This page reflects the latest version of the APA Publication Manual (i.e., APA 7), which released in October 2019. The equivalent resource for the older APA 6 style can be found here.
This resource, revised according to the 7th edition APA Publication Manual, provides fundamental guidelines for constructing the reference pages of research papers. For more information, please consult the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, (7th ed.).
Note: Because the information on this page pertains to virtually all citations, we’ve highlighted one important difference between APA 6 and APA 7 with an underlined note written in red.
Formatting a Reference List
Your reference list should appear at the end of your paper. It provides the information necessary for a reader to locate and retrieve any source you cite in the body of the paper. Each source you cite in the paper must appear in your reference list; likewise, each entry in the reference list must be cited in your text.
Your references should begin on a new page separate from the text of the essay; label this page “References” in bold, centered at the top of the page (do NOT underline or use quotation marks for the title). All text should be double-spaced just like the rest of your essay.
Basic Rules for Most Sources
- All lines after the first line of each entry in your reference list should be indented one-half inch from the left margin. This is called hanging indentation.
- All authors’ names should be inverted (i.e., last names should be provided first).
- Authors’ first and middle names should be written as initials.
- For example, the reference entry for a source written by Jane Marie Smith would begin with “Smith, J. M.”
- If a middle name isn’t available, just initialize the author’s first name: “Smith, J.”
- Give the last name and first/middle initials for all authors of a particular work up to and including 20 authors (this is a new rule, as APA 6 only required the first six authors). Separate each author’s initials from the next author in the list with a comma. Use an ampersand (&) before the last author’s name. If there are 21 or more authors, use an ellipsis (but no ampersand) after the 19th author, and then add the final author’s name.
- Reference list entries should be alphabetized by the last name of the first author of each work.
- For multiple articles by the same author, or authors listed in the same order, list the entries in chronological order, from earliest to most recent.
- When referring to the titles of books, chapters, articles, reports, webpages, or other sources, capitalize only the first letter of the first word of the title and subtitle, the first word after a colon or a dash in the title, and proper nouns.
- Note again that the titles of academic journals are subject to special rules. See section below.
- Italicize titles of longer works (e.g., books, edited collections, names of newspapers, and so on).
- Do not italicize, underline, or put quotes around the titles of shorter works such as chapters in books or essays in edited collections.
Basic Rules for Articles in Academic Journals
- Present journal titles in full.
- Italicize journal titles.
- Maintain any nonstandard punctuation and capitalization that is used by the journal in its title.
- For example, you should use PhiloSOPHIA instead of Philosophia, or Past & Present instead of Past and Present.
- Capitalize all major words in the titles of journals. Note that this differs from the rule for titling other common sources (like books, reports, webpages, and so on) described above.
- This distinction is based on the type of source being cited. Academic journal titles have all major words capitalized, while other sources’ titles do not.
- Capitalize the first word of the titles and subtitles of journal articles, as well as the first word after a colon or a dash in the title, and any proper nouns.
- Do not italicize or underline the article title.
- Do not enclose the article title in quotes.
- So, for example, if you need to cite an article titled “Deep Blue: The Mysteries of the Marianas Trench” that was published in the journal Oceanographic Study: A Peer-Reviewed Publication, you would write the article title as follows:
- Deep blue: The mysteries of the Marianas Trench.
- …but you would write the journal title as follows:
- Oceanographic Study: A Peer-Reviewed Publication
- So, for example, if you need to cite an article titled “Deep Blue: The Mysteries of the Marianas Trench” that was published in the journal Oceanographic Study: A Peer-Reviewed Publication, you would write the article title as follows:
Please note: While the APA manual provides examples of how to cite common types of sources, it does not cover all conceivable sources. If you must cite a source that APA does not address, the APA suggests finding an example that is similar to your source and using that format. For more information, see page 282 of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 7th ed.
