CV19: Lesson 1 / Task 1 - Pleasantville, where nobody poops...

Hello and welcome to Online Learning for
Digital Literacy & Expression 
 READ the Entire Page 


For this first week we are going to start our Film unit early and use our existing Hella hEAlthy knowledge as a lens to start learning how to analyze films!

  • We will watch a film and use it as our common text
  • We will respond in writing as we connect the film to who we are and what we know
  • We will get together to discuss our ideas in order to make them better
  • We will submit our revised analysis for extra credit 
    • Via Google Classroom 
    • Via video Flipboard (we think)

 . . . . . 

Why "Extra" Credit?  Because I can't make you do this - only YOU can make you do this. 

  • What I can do is reward you for making that choice by making this work be worth DOUBLE the normal amount if you do it well.
  • What I don't want to do is assume that your life right now makes it possible for you to do it. So if you can, great, you will get ahead and that is like money in the bank for your grades (and these lessons are going to be fun while being challenging).
  • If you don't do these assignments you WILL be missing out on important skills that we will be using as soon as we return.  You will be able to pick it up but you won't be nearly as good at is as you could have been.

 . . . . . 
Learning Target(s)
  • I can view the film Pleasantville as an informational text
  • I can reflect on questions relating to the themes in the film as they relate to modern media and my life.
  • I can use Google Hangouts during office hours to share my ideas with peers and solidify my ideas
  • I can revise my written reflections to incorporate new thinking and evidence into my answers
  • I can reflect on the process with a final post to Flipgrid  
     . . . . . 

    Steps to complete the project
    • Step Two: Think and write about the film
      • Look for the assignment named "Pleasantville Response Questions" in your Google Classroom
        • Complete it BEFORE you attend a Google Hangout in Step 3
        • READ the assignment before you begin. 
        • Answer only 1 question in each section
    • Step Four: Revise our thinking and writing about the film
      • Deadline is now SUNDAY EVENING
      • AFTER you attend a hangout (or if you missed both) revise your google classroom assignment to reflect your best thinking and writing.
