Extra Credit
Thursday, April 8th, 2010Extra Credit
Write a 300 word minimum response to a pre-approved film or program. In your response you must include:
Ø 1 aspect you agree with and why (or 1 aspect you already knew about and how)
Ø 1 aspect you disagree with and why (or 1 aspect you doubt and why)
Ø 1 question you have after viewing the film/program
In your response I am looking for thought and learning. I do not want a summery of the film, rather your reaction to it. Tell me what you learned from the film and what you thought about these new ideas. I don’t want to hear things like, “I thought this film was good.” This does not demonstrate any thought whatsoever.
You may watch any Frontline program that you can relate to class: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/programs/
