For this assignment you are to analyze
a dyad
that
shares
a significant relationship from the film just shown in class.
You must use
the
Stages of Relationship Development
for
your analysis.
You must show a clear understanding. Definitions have not been provided. They should be in your notes
.
Be careful you do not allow your analysis to become a retelling of the plot.
Remember to use the
same
dyad (two people) throughout your analysis. Do not include a third person or switch
between dyads. If you use a third person or switch between dyads only questions which include the initial dyad identified will be used. Other questions will result in a zero. Do not recount the plot.
Do NOT include any kind of critique of the film. I do not care whether you liked the movie or not. Films are not
shown for entertainment value. If 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 (actors,
director, date, etc
).
You
must
include the
film title
and the
names of the characters in your dyad
but no other logistics
from the film.
Format:
Answer the questions on the rubric. Use the appropriate numbers and include the questions.
Do
not
use essay format. If you submit it in essay format, I will not read it and you will earn a zero. Q
uestions must be in
bold to differentiate between question and answer.
For example:
1. What
happens during the Initiating stage of Relationship Development?
Answer
:
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.
Use your own words for all definitions
.
Failure to do so will result in a grade
r
eduction. Use
correct English syntax
and punctuation. This means you will need to carefully proof
–
read for spelling and/or grammatical errors. Do not rely
solely on your computer’s spell
–
check function.
This assignment is worth 100 points.
Questions not included and/or typed in bold will result in a
10% deduction of the total points available. Late assignments are not accepted.
Analyses that are not typed will not be accepted.
Keep in mind that stages may or may not appear in order, some stages may be seen more than once and some may not
be seen at all. If you believe a stage is not present in the relationship, as far as the film is concerned, do NOT leave
that question blank. Instead, indicate that the stage was not evident in the film and explain why you believe this to be
the case. Make sure to answer ALL questions requiring a definition or description of a stage.
Knapp’s Model of Relationship Development is not in your text. Descriptions of each stage should be in your notes.
