Long time, no blog
Hello all,
I know it's been awhile since I've posted, but I'll try to catch you up. This week is a short week so we haven't had to try to get as much done as possible in a short period of time.
In Modern Media we have been studying film and the filmmaking process. Last Friday we took notes over the process of creating a film. Monday students got a handout on the history of film as well as questions over it. Tuesday we did bookwork over film and Wednesday and Thursday we have been watching "The Birds," a classic by Alfred Hitchcock. Next week we will continue and finish our film unit with a test on Friday.
In Creative Writing we have been leading up to the writing of our short story. We talked about point of view and how that effects the telling of a story. We read "The Lottery," by Shirley Jackson and now have 4 blog entries. On Wednesday we started to take a section of "The Lottery" or "Hills like White Elephants" and write it from a different point of view. That's due on Monday at the end of class.
English 10 students have spent the week writing their first real paper; an autobiographical narrative in which they take an incident from their lives as a starting point and tell the story. We've been typing this in class and will be finishing at the beginning of next week. Once that is done, we'll be starting the novel, "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee.
