Metropolis Papers Due! Charlie Chaplin's The Circus

Please prepare and submit your Metropolis papers to our Google classroom.

If you finish before 8:00, please work on your silent film projects if possible (or see your homework!)

At 8:00, we will screen the Chaplin film The Circus (1928). Chaplin wrote, directed, edited, starred in, produced and also composed the music (yes, music!) for the film.

HOMEWORK: please read the handout on The Hays Code. Read the information about Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton on the handouts as well.
