HIST 350 - Film Review Assignment

This assignment requires you to review the historical accuracy of a film.

You must find and use:

  • Three reviews of the film
    • Substantial reviews by authoritative reviewers/critics (look for reviews that are at least several paragraphs in length and assess the credentials/qualifications of the author of the review).
    • Avoid anonymous or user-posted reviews on sites such as Amazon, IMDB. These sites can still be useful for information or for finding critic reviews.
    • Try to find reviews from quality news sites/newspapers such as Globe and Mail, Toronto Star, New York Times, CBC, etc., or from established critics.
  • At least five independent secondary sources  
    • These may include books or book chapters, scholarly articles, or reputable websites.
    • These may not include general reference sources such as Wikipedia, textbooks, or encyclopedia.
    • Use the tabs along the top of this guide to locate different types of sources.

A minimum of five sources must be in print (book chapter or journal article that would appear in print) and three sources in electronic form (such as a stand-alone website).
