The Film Club Finale

Good morning! We've just finished a rather mellow class of writing and reflecting on The Film Club. In case you were absent (or just not paying attention) you should know that I have chosen to simplify the essay assignment. It will now require only a personal reflection; that's right - you do not have to refer to The Catcher in the Rye and The Film Club. You will still have learned about personal narrative from reading these two works, but this essay is your personal narrative.

The class went something like this:

1. Write a journal reflecting on The Film Club; be sure to show you have read the book. You may consider it in comparison or contrast to Catcher; you may discuss it as a work of non-fiction in contrast to novels you have read; and you should definitely comment on what happened in the book.
2. Using Bloom's Taxonomy, and working with a partner, create 6 questions and answers for The Film Club. Use the verbs on the handout to write the questions; you may create answers in point form. We will finish this in class next day.

For homework:

• Vocab. Unit 3.
• Write your own Talk to Teachers. Focus on Baldwin's tone and choose an issue / agenda you believe is worth talking to today's teachers about. One to two pages (max. 500 words).
