March 21, 2017 - Tuesday

Class Work

Goal: To gather information leading to the next major writing activity. 

1. Review the guidelines for writing a movie review - what should be included? List on the board!

 Trade written reviews and complete the War Movie Peer Review sheet.

Homework:

Review and revise your review. Submit the revision and the peer editing sheet on paper on Thursday. 

2. Share at your table. Each table will nominate one critic to share with the class. Enthusiasm counts!

3. Begin viewing  In the Time of the Butterflies. This movie is based on true events. Watch. Answer the questions. To begin, take 10 minutes and write about the things that are important to you. What do you hold dear? Is there anything for which you would fight to save or keep or change? (10 minute quick-write in CANVAS.)
