Assignment Instructions
1.Choose a
historical phenomenon within a roughly 10-year period, e.g., Cuban cinema
1965-75 or American documentary film 1960-1970, or French New Wave cinema 1959-1969,
or Marxist film theory 1950-1960, or feminist cinema and theory 1975-1985,
etc. Note that, although you will concentrate on a ten-year period, you
may include individual entries outside the main ten-year period upon which you
are concentrating.
2.Choose at least
10 SALIENT events for your history. Events may include films, publications
(e.g., essays or manifestos from class), or events in the world (including the
film world, e.g., festivals, film movements, etc.). You will be evaluated on
how relevant your events are to the FOCUS of your history.
3.Add information
about each event using the Description function. Explain why the event is
important. Add your bibliographic reference here and/or in the URL function
below.
4.Categorize your
events using the Icon function. For example, you may wish to colour code
political events and film premieres differently. Or films and published
essays. Etc. You MUST provide a Legend for your Icon categorizations in your

5.Evaluate the
importance of each event for your history using the importance function.
Important events should be larger than less important events.
6.Add images

each event for your reader. This is also your opportunity to demonstrate that
you are not simply finding all of your history on Wikipedia. For internet
sources, you can add your research source here.
7.When you are
finished with your timeline, go to the Timeline area Share Tab and
share it by copying and pasting the public URL that Timeglider provides to you.
Make sure you copy and past this URL at the top of the first page of your
explanatory text.
8.Submit your
1000 word explanatory text to Moodle for grading by the deadline of 7 October
2013, 11:59pm.
GRADING RUBRIC: The purpose
of this assignment is to learn about writing history. History always involves
more information in the world than can be included in the historical account.
Therefore, events must be chosen, described, categorized, evaluated, and
justified. Your final mark will reflect how well
a) you have focused and
explained your historical period;
b) you have visualized your
historical period using Timegliders web-based functions;
c) you have imaginatively and ambitiously
discovered connections among your events.

For this assignment,
you will be reading and analyzing the Susan Glaspell play, Trifles. As
you read the play you will notice that its format is quite different from
that of a short story or novel. At first, reading the stage directions, characters
names and dialogue may feel awkward; but rest assured that, as you keep
reading you will find your rhythm and be able to follow the story with little
difficulty.
Please write an
essay of 1000 words or more discussing the questions below. As always,
begin your paper with an engaging introduction and clear thesis statement,
develop each point in the body of your paper using examples and quotes from
the play, and conclude your paper with a restatement of your thesis and
closing remarks. In addition, be sure to maintain your credibility by
including in-text citations and a reference list correctly formatted in APA
style.

Setting: What is the setting
of the play, in terms of the time period, region and weather? Explain
the condition of the house. What emotional response does the setting
evoke in you?
Characters: Describe the main
characters: county attorney George Henderson, sheriff Henry Peters,
neighbor Lewis Hale, Mrs. Hale, and Mrs. Peters.What do you also
know about John and Minnie Wright? Who in this story do you feel is/are
the protagonist(s) and who is/are the antagonist(s)?
Plot: Summarize the plot of
the play in terms of its narrative arc (also known a pyramidal pattern):
exposition, rising action, conflict, climax, falling action and
resolution/dnouement. What makes the story suspenseful?
Stage Directions: Comment on
Glaspells stage directions. What information do they reveal that you
would have not been able to glean from the dialogue alone?
Symbolism: Elaborate on the
symbolic meaning of the birdcage, the dead canary, the noose and the
items referred to as trifles.
Themes: Remark on the main
messages of this play. What is the meaning of the title, Trifles?
In your opinion, what is Glaspell saying about gender differences and
marriage in this story?
Genre: Because this is a
play, most of the story is told in dialogue format. Articulate the
differences between reading a drama and reading a short story. Comment,
too, on the experience of reading a drama versus watching it performed
by actors.
Final Thoughts: Trifles
is based on a true crime story that Susan Glaspell reported on as a
journalist from 1898-1901. Do some background research on the actual
events (one recommended website is http://www.midnightassassin.com/index.html)
and write about the increasing empathy Glaspell felt toward Margaret
Hossack, the alleged murderess, as Glaspell covered the case. Do you
empathize with Hossack and her fictional counterpart, Minnie Wright? Why
or why not? What overall impact has the play had on you?

*Have at least 8 in-text citations.
*APA format must be followed.
