1930's Presentations & Silent Film Project

Today, please take 20 minutes to upload video for your silent film project (if you have any), allow directors to schedule your film project, aiming for the completion of the film project by next week. Remember that editing takes time!

Also during these 20 minutes, please complete any touches on your presentation you wish to make. I'll be coming around the room and asking for volunteers to present first. If no one volunteers, I will select randomly.

Finally, if you are all caught up on your presentation and your film is nearing completion (or you don't have access to it today), please check out these 1930's clips. If you don't get to view these today, please watch them over the weekend and take notes.

PRESENTATIONS:

As you watch the presentations, please fill out the 1930's note sheet with appropriate details about what you learn from your peers. Turn these in at the end of class for participation credit.

Any presentations we did not get to today will be delivered on Tuesday, next week.
