Is your assignment only to watch the movie and write a summary about it? Or is it to compare it to the actual book by Washington Irving? How long does your paper need to be?
I would suggest, if it is an open-ended assignment (where you get to choose what exactly you're writing about), that you compare and contrast the book with the movie. The movie Sleepy Hollow is vastly different from the book, and comparing and contrasting the two would make for a very interesting paper. Be sure, as with all paper, that you have an introductory paragraph in which you let your reader know what exactly your paper is about. Continue with supporting paragraphs - if you compare/contrast, you could have one or two paragraphs about the movie, then one or two paragraphs about the book, then one or two paragraphs describing their similarities and differences. Then end with a concluding, summarizing paragraph.
Be sure to check the links below for more information on both the book and the movie. Both book and movie are entertaining (the book is quite short and should only take about 1-2 hours at the most to read and understand) and should make for an interesting paper to write. Good luck!
