Write а diаlоgue оf аt least 1,200 wоrds featuring one character from an assigned film and two philosophers assigned this semester. Choose one of the questions below as your theme: What is real? What is true? Are we free? Who am I? What is right? Grading Criteria (15 points total) Opening (1 pts): Creative, engaging opening that draws the reader into the philosophical discussion. Philosophical Question (2 pts): The chosen question (right, real, true, or free will) is clearly articulated and genuinely explored. Accurate Treatment of Thinkers & Character (5 pts): Each philosopher's position is accurately rendered in spirit. The film character's perspective is authentically drawn from specific details in the film. All three voices are distinct. Creative Dialogue (3 pts): Genuinely conversational, not a lecture with line breaks. Characters interrupt, question, clarify, joke. The exchange has energy and rhythm. Intentional Conclusion (2 pts): The conclusion conveys intentionality, whether a stalemate, a new conclusion steered by the author, or a refined question. Philosophy is an ongoing discussion, and your ending should reflect that you have made a conscious choice about where this conversation lands. Enjoyable Writing (2 pts): Warm, clear, clever, and creative. A pleasure to read. Humor and voice emerge naturally from the characters and situation. Preparation: Notecards During the proctored writing session, you may refer to two handwritten notecards. These are the only materials you may bring. Your notecards may include: Key quotes from philosophers Brief outlines or bullet points Specific film scenes or character moments Key terms or questions you want to explore Prepare your notecards thoughtfully. They will be checked during the proctoring setup. Note on Accuracy & Notecard Use You are not expected to have memorized each thinker or character's ideas. You will be evaluated on your knowledge of the spirit of their positions. Your notecards are there to support you. Use them to recall key quotes, concepts, or film details. But do not allow them to interfere with your creative intellectual flow. Note that you are not being asked to recall each philosopher's exact words. You are expected to take creative leeway in representing the their thinking and views; however, you must accurately render their core commitments. The one exception: as the thinkers engage in Socratic dialogue, you may have them arrive at a compromise or even admit error in discussion with the other thinker. Such a resolution is not necessary. Philosophy is, after all, an ongoing discussion.
