We're English 10 Nerds and Loving It: April 9, 2014

Focus: To what extent is our "reality" real?

Shortened Class: PLC

1. Warming up: Say hello to Mr. Rosenberg and recap the expectations for your Truman Show notes:

Your document should be called "___________ (your last name) Truman Show Notes" and needs to be shared with me directly at kleclaire@lps.k12.co.us

This document will eventually be worth 40 points in the growth category.

Include the following categories in your notes:

a. Characters: Names, personality traits, clothes, things they say

b. Motifs/symbols: Specific objects that seem symbolic, what they might represent, and how they change throughout the film


c. Questions: Level 1, 2, and 3 questions; try to answer them at the end of the film


d. Connections to Fahrenheit 451: Be specific and original (these will form the backbone of your essay)


2. Watching The Truman Show and taking notes

Note: Please keep track of where you stopped watching the movie today.

HW:
1. Add to your Truman Show notes.

2. Work on your book talk.
