We're English 10 Nerds and Loving It: May 6, 2014

Focus: How can we turn the timeline into a powerful script?

1. Warming up: Listening to the openings from two "real" mock/documentaries:

Example #1: Remember Epic?
Example #2: Supersize Me

Your task: As you listen, describe the opening of each script, typing up powerful words, phrases, and tactics.

2. Showing me your timeline if you have not yet done so

3. Composing a rough draft of your script with a focus on the following aspects:

It should have a powerful opening and closing.
It needs smooth transitions between years/events.
This is a great place to show off your creative voice; choose your words carefully.
You need to have it written out EXACTLY as it will be narrated.

4. Explaining how your work habits for this project are being graded:

You start off with 50 points in the Growth category (5 work days left, 10 points each).

You lose a point each time you...

  • Distract or are distracted by someone sitting near you
  • Play on your cell phone
  • Do other homework
  • Use language inappropriate to class
  • Pack up early

HW: 
1. You must have a rough draft of your script completed before the start of class tomorrow.

2. Assigned book film club reading and activities for Friday.

3. ALL REVISIONS AND MAKE-UP WORK ARE DUE THURSDAY, MAY 15.
