(Snowy) Weekend Update...

Nice weather, huh, guys?! Man....

Anyway, please check out the recently updated "important dates" and "weekly schedule" links to the right in order to prepare for next week's classes.

A few reminders:

1.) We have a "Film Term Notes QUIZ" on Monday over all of our recent notes taken in class. NOT included on the quiz are "literary terms".

2.) Your "Movie Review #2" assignment is DUE ON MONDAY.

3.) Be thinking about (and perhaps gathering) a worthy 250 pg. and above NOVEL for our upcoming "Novel Adaptation Assignment #1". Remember, the novel MUST have been adapted into a film version in order for the book to be appropriate. AND it needs to be a book that you have NOT read before. The assignment will be officially introduced on Tuesday of next week, and you NEED to have a selection by Wednesday.

Note: There is a chance that I will not be in class again on Monday due to a doctor appointment, but the schedule for that day would not change either way.

Have a good rest of the weekend! Spring Break is just around the corner....

PS: Go State!

2.) You can access that document as well as the upcoming Movie Review #2 by clicking on the "course documents" link just the right.


Enjoy your weekend, everyone!

"Favorites" Reminder

Hi, everyone. Don't forget to prepare for your "Favorites" presentation for tomorrow. You'll need at least one visual, and you'll need to display the 3 public speaking "priorities": movement (at least 4 feet), loud/clear voice, and eye contact. Also, don't forget to figure out your "text" author and "film" director!

I'm looking forward to hearing from everyone! I'm sure you're all DYING to hear about MY favs too, huh? :)

Take care, everyone.
