How's It Going To End? April 22, 2019

Focus:

1. Warming up three good things and how to maintain your in-class focus the rest of the semester

2. Finishing The Truman Show ; make sure you're keeping thoughtful notes, as this document will eventually be worth 40 points in the growth category

3. If time allows, analyzing the film with your grid groups

Topic #1: What specific moments from the ending of the film seemed most important to you? What do you think they meant?

Topic #2: What were the most important symbols and motifs? What larger patterns did they form? And/or, what did you think about the characters' names, especially "Truman" and "Christoff"?

Topic #3: Peter Weir is the director of this film. What big questions do you think Weir wants us to be talking about after watching this film?


HW:
By FRIDAY: Make sure all F451 fishbowls have been made up if you were absent. Check Infinite Campus for grades (fishbowl, Truman Show notes, journals); if you're handwriting, make sure you bring your sticky notes/journals to class each day until I check them.
