One More Full Week Left!

Excited, guys?! :) We've got to take care of some business first though these next few weeks...

Check out the newly updated "weekly schedule" and "important dates" links to the right in order to prepare for next week's classes.

Reminder: Be planning for your "create your own" activity whatever your individual due date is! And remember, you need to officially check in with me the day before it's your turn to lead the class. Kayleigh and Danny, we'll look forward to hearing from you early Monday morning!

Early Weekend Update

Hi, everyone. First, I hope you enjoy the long weekend!

As always, check out the newly updated "weekly schedule" and "important dates" links to the right in order to prepare for next week, a full week.

Reminders for the weekend:

**Be prepared to present one fact from each of the five main research categories regarding your film director information on MONDAY. Students who have yet to officially check in with me regarding extra credit clips, please do so asap. Check the original Director Project direction sheet if at all confused!

**The Essay for the above project is DUE WEDNESDAY (see directions). Feel free to get a head start on it over the weekend, but I won't officially collect your hand-written research notes and final draft items until Wednesday.

**Be reminded that we'll be starting our last major project in this class next week: Novel Adaptation Assignment #2. Perhaps choose a fitting novel (at least 225 pgs./fiction) over the weekend? Remember that your book does NOT have to have a film version accompanying it.

That's it for now....have a good one, all!

Have a great weekend, all.
