Comparing the film and the storyboard

(Update: She did.)

We have internet! There should be a meme for that. Maybe Ms. Black will make us one.

Goals: Watching the film version of Cask of Amontillado and then comparing it to the story board you made.

1. Read
2. Open your English Journal, take notes as we watch the film. FILM LINK
3. Write a compare contrast paragraph about the film and the storyboard you made with your partner. 
4. Here is the prompt for your compare contrast paragraph. Write it in your English Journal. 

Update from my phone

We will visit the counseling office today. You need a book to read while you wait. 

Yesterday we still had no Internet. You finished your story boards and we watched a short film version of "Cask of Amontillado." Then you compared your storyboard to the film. 

Cross your fingers that we get some internet access for tomorrow. 

The Day Without Internet: A horror story (Actually we survived just fine.)

The wi-fi was very poor today, but we got a lot done anyway.

We reviewed the language of film with a slide show of examples and then began working on our own story board versions of Cask of Amontillado.

Book reviews due next week.
