Teaching Film Activity:
It's a simple worksheet designed for post-viewing discussion, but it's also pretty informative and occasionally fun. Students are expected to answer these questions during/after viewing any given movie.
1. Underneath the plot, what do you think this movie is about?
2. What is your favourite scene in the movie?
3. What is your least-favourite scene in the movie?
4. Favourite shot?
5. How do you think this shot ties into what the director is saying with the movie?
6. Least favourite shot?
7. Name one thing you liked MOST about the movie? This could be ANYTHING from an actor to a hair-style.
8. Name one thing you liked LEAST.

urge to kill rising
all the listed dvd ripping software doesn't decrypt. end result: garbled nonsense, occasionally with a broken audio track embedded. i know exactly what i want to do, i just don't want to pay for it. Youtube, of course, is filled with largely worthless shit unsuitable to use. I could spend about 24 hours filtering through it to find something good...meh.

If I don't know you, DIAF
Under the basic, and reasonable, assumption that the only people who will be looking at this blog will be classmates, I'll post this now and here while it's in my head.
Now of course, before anyone starts up with "but this is an open site anyone can look here" I say sure. And I can drive a car with my toes. Doesn't mean it'll be happening.
On the fluke chance that someone is reading this who is not a member of one of these classes, you may wanna sod off right now.
So, I've done the bulk of the reading for this week's session of 5472 already, and I found something cool. "A Teacher's Perspective: Online Conversations Support Student Engagement with Literature". The ideas and potential of allowing/encouraging students to use im/texting/chatrooms to talk about literature is something that's setting my twisted little brain a-spinnin'. Anyone else having similar positive reactions to it? I've been extrapolating mentally on how I could use such an idea.
Assuming I don't forget, I'll bring this up on Thursday.
XOXO

This is a test
Once upon a time in the Wicher Lands, a dark King and his army of Mox ruled the jungles. They lived in a sedentary manner, and their true terror was in the land of dreams. The Wicher-King is the king of Headhunters.
