Forrest Gump Notes

After the completion of the film, the class will have a film discussion.  After the film discussion, even if it is that day in class, I will collect the assignment.  The assignment is very simple.  Record facts and quotes from the film.  Facts should be things that happened (usually historical or political).  Quotes that we record are spoken words that are so insightful that indicate facts, but are so interesting or powerful that we do not paraphrase.  Here is how I would do it.

FACTS                                                                              QUOTES
