film assignment

D block will watch the Untouchables in order to further study Prohibition.  After completion of the film, 12/19 or 12/20, the class will have a film discussion.  After the film discussion, students are expected to submit the film assignment on turnitin.com or paper.  The film reflection is an informal writing assignment and is graded as a homework assignment.  All that is expected from each student, is that they write a 4-sentence-minimum reflection as a comment on this post.  Respond to a thing or multiple things from the movie that struck you.  Were you inspired?  Surprised?  Dejected?  Did you learn something new?  Does it remind you of something you know?  How does it apply or add to what we have learned?  See me if you need help.

Chapter 20 and 21 Notebook Check

NO plagiarism!  Zeroes will be issued in that case per school and class rule.  Follow these directions!  Must be submitted before test time on 12/14.  Upload onto turnitin.com on our class page under Chapter 20 and 21 Notebook Check and all items should be on the same document in THIS ORDER.  Everything from class without taking out notes, etc. is fine as long as everything is in order.  If you chose to do all on paper, turn in IN THIS ORDER AS WELL.  Separate paper documents can be stapled or paperclipped or I can just collect the notebook if they are in order with other things in between.  I can skip the other things.
