- 6. Lumos Solem: Casts a sunray of light: Lumos comes from the Latin word "lumen," meaning "light." Solem is Latin for sun. Expelliarmus: blocks unfriendly spells or to disarm someone: The word is a combination of the Latin expellere, meaning ‘to drive or force out’, and arma, meaning weapon. Immobilus: Induces paralysis: Latin for unmovable (meaning to prevent motion) Rictusempra: Causes a person to experience a tickling sensation all over the body: Latin from rictus, "the open mouth or jaws" (laughing) + semper "always." Aparecium: Reveals the content of anything written using invisible ink: comes from the Latin word appareo (meaning to become visible) Serpensortia: Conjures a serpent: Serpens is Latin for "serpent"; ortus is the past participle of the Latin verb oriri "to rise or be created" Arania Exume: Repels arachnids: From the Latin araneus, meaning “spider”, and exuo, meaning “I lay aside.” Vipera Evanesca: Vanishes a serpent: “viper” Eng. a kind of snake;Latin evanesco meaning “to vanish.” Finite Incantartem: Cancels and/or reverses the effects of most curses or hexes. Finite is the Latin imperative plural (used when giving a command to a group of people) of the word ‘to end,’ and incantatum is the passive participle of the Latin incanto, meaning ‘having been bewitched.’
- 7. Review Remember that a strong thesis statement should be clear, arguable, and appropriately qualified. readers expect to encounter a definitive judgment, not a vague, wishy-washy, or undecided judgment. Establish the criteria upon which you will judge the film. Choose at least four, but you might explore several more to make sure you have chosen the best options to support your opinion. Make sure your topic sentences lead directly back to your thesis statement. Check to see that you have two, clear and concrete examples that support each of your four topic sentences. The Beginning: How can I capture readers’ attention from the start? Should I begin by naming the director and starring actors? Should I open with a simple summary that leads to the thesis? Should I use multiple paragraphs? The Counterargument: Have you identified at least one likely objection or alternative judgement? Have you responded by conceding or refuting the objection/alternative?
- 8. Writing your Conclusion To start, carefully read the conclusion you wrote for your in-class essay. How can you make it better?
- 9. Example from “Star Trek or Star Wreck” Star Trek Into Darkness is a typical Hollywood blockbuster, which exploits a popular franchise. Unlike the original, it has little to offer to its audience, except another portion of amazing visual effects and the performance of Benedict Cumberbatch. Considering all this, I would recommend viewers to watch the new Star Trek in company, with a huge bucket of popcorn, and only once—in the cinema.
- 10. Qualities of Conclusions A conclusion should • stress the importance of the thesis statement • give the essay a sense of completeness • leave a final impression on the reader. 1. Create a new meaning: demonstrating how your ideas work together can create a new picture. Often the sum of the paper is worth more than its parts. 2. Answer the question "So What?”: Show your readers why this paper was important. 3. Propose a course of action, a solution to an issue, or questions for further study: Redirect your reader's thought process and help him or her to apply your info and ideas to her own life or to see the broader implications.
- 11. Create a new meaning: Make a recommendation Demonstrating how your ideas work together can create a new picture. Often the sum of the paper is worth more than its parts. Given the outstanding performances of the child actors and the realistic special effects, I must recommend this film to children and adults alike.
- 12. Answer the question "So What?” Show your readers why your essay is important. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone delivers a storyline that makes the viewer think about the marginalization of minority groups, so even though it is a film made in 2001, we can clearly benefit from it today. Given the strength of that message, I say see the film with your kids or other family members. Talk about. Learn from it.
- 13. Propose a course of action Redirect your reader's thoughts. Help him or her understand the broader implications of your judgement. What would make the film better? While this film could have been a blockbuster based on the storyline, the use of inexperienced child actors and the phony looking special effects really make it, at best, a mediocre film for pre-teens and kids. A recasting of the roles for a future version of this film, using experienced child stars, and some advanced CGI will make it much more exciting and believable.
- 14. 1.Combine your conclusion answers: If both prompts stir you to answer, consider how you can combine the two for a longer conclusion. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone delivers a storyline that makes the viewer think about the marginalization of minority groups, so even though it is a film made in 2001, we can clearly benefit from it today.. Given the strength of that message, I say see the film with your kids or other family members. Talk about. Learn from it. But this film is not just a message about how to treat people; the outstanding performances of the child actors and the realistic special effects, make this film fun for children and adults alike.

- 16. NEW Skill: MLA Integrating Quotations MLA Style
- 17. GPU: Integrating Quotations 1. Every time you paraphrase, summarize, or directly quote a source (in this case the film), you must identify the material as quoted. 2. For quotations that refer to one character and are under four lines of text, we can use "Quotation Marks." 3. Always introduce the scene or character who is speaking. For example, you might write, When Harry and the Dursleys return home from the zoo, Uncle Vernon throws Harry against the wall and barks “What happened?” (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone). 4. We must include the name of the source to which we refer. The citation will come between the last quotation mark and the period.
- 18. One day, Hogwarts school tries to contact Harry by owl. Everyone is at the table but Harry, and he is fetching the mail. This conversation shows how the Dursleys react: DUDLEY. Dad, look! Harry's got a letter!! HARRY. Hey, give it back! It's mine! VERNON. Yours? Who'd be writing to you? (Harry Potter)((Harry Potter). When Uncle Vernon finds out who is writing to Harry, he nails the mailbox slot closed. This shows how mean the Dursleys are to Harry. They do not want Harry to know that he is a wizard. If you quote multiple speakers, you must use a different format. Begin each line with the appropriate character’s name indented 1-inch (10 spaces) from the left margin and written in all capital letters followed by a period. Here is an example: We will not use quotation marks or italicize the quote in the case of multiple speakers; the indentation will be indication enough.

Double space all citations, but do not skip spaces between entries. Indent the second and subsequent lines of citations by 0.5 inches to create a hanging indent.
