Read the Two External Links on Francois Truffaut, his "auteur theory," and New Wave cinema carefully, as well as my notes under Course Documents for Week Three. Read Chapter 10: School Days from French or Foe on the online reserves. Then view the film "The 400 Blows."

In a two-page, two-part essay, use specific examples from Truffaut’s film "The 400 Blows," to discuss how the film exemplifies some key aspects of New Wave film. Additionally, consider the way in which the French education system is presented in the film. What elements strike you as particularly "French," as discussed in the textbook? How does your own schooling compare to what you have learned about the French education system?

Because of increasing demands on students from employers and colleges to participate in extracurricular activities and community services in addition to getting high grades, educators are debating extending high school for an extra year. Some educators support extending high school for another year because they think students need more time to achieve all that is expected of them. Other educators do not support extending high school because they think students would lose intreats in school and their attendance would drop in the last year. In your opinion should high school be extended for an extra year. In your essay take a position on this topic.

Suggestions for using cause-effect in an essay:

Determine the purpose of the essay developed through causal analysis. Do you want to inform? Persuade? Speculate about possibilities?

Think logically about causes and effects. Causes and effects are seldom simple or obvious. Be willing to dig for causes, and to think creatively about effects. An effect may have multiple causes, and in reverse, a cause may have multiple effects.

Develop a thesis that focuses on causes or effects, not both. You still need a strong three part thesis statement with a pattern of development.

An ineffectual public school system has led to high illiteracy rates, crippling teachers’ strikes, and widespread disrespect for education. (Focus on effects)

Our school system has been weakened by paltry teaching salaries, an overemphasis on trendy electives, and decreasing parental support.
(Focus on causes)

Choose an organizational pattern. There are two basic ways to present your discussion:

Chronological order: discusses events in the order in which they occur.

Emphatic order: discusses the cause or effect you deem most important last. The last point you make stays with your reader the longest
