Welcome!

On this blog I want students to post their thoughts on the ideas discussed and films viewed in class. We will treat this like a living film journal where we can ask questions about aspects of the films we do not fully comprehend and also comment upon the elements we greatly enjoyed. I will start an entry for each film viewed and will also create posts where I will ask students to review films that we are not viewing as a class. If any student has an idea for a topic, let me know.

Remember to be respectful when adding your comments. This is for school credit and the content must adhere to those guidelines. Failure to remain appropriate will result in no credit for the assignment, and a trip to the Upper School office.
