Presentations, Playwrights' Fest, & Silent Film

This morning we will screen the student films that have been completed. Students who have not yet turned in a film project are very late at this point. It is difficult to move on with your work missing, but we must press on.

As you watch the student films, please complete the notes to hand in for credit at the end of class.

If you are interested in submitting a play (10-minute, one-act, two-act, adaptation, musical, etc.) for the playwrights' festival (occurring in April), please submit today or by Thursday at the latest. After this time, the option will be given to other grades.

After our screenings, please turn in your Feb. Break homework (see blog if you don't know about this). Please watch any of the film clips we didn't watch as a class from Silent Film Comedy and anything you might have missed with Charlie Chaplin.

HOMEWORK: Get caught up. Complete the article on D.W. Griffith.
