10th Grade Honors English students and parents. March 8th and 11th is the date of our figurative language and poetry test. Be ready!!
Also, March 14th and 15th - POETIC PANTHEON group projects are due!!
This term, you have an opportunity for extra credit. You can get a little bit of extra credit for visiting this site: http://thepoetsgarret.com/list.html and writing a poem in one of these forms: Villanelle, ZaniLa Rhyme, Ya Du, Ropalic, Rondeau, Rubaiyat, Go Vat, Cavatina, Triolet, Aubade. Then, explain the trouble you had writing it and your process and what you tried to "do" in the poem.
You can get even more extra credit for reading a Shakespeare play that you have never read before and writing a 1 1/2 to 2 page essay on it in MLA format.
Both of these extra credit assignments are due by March 15th. NO EXCEPTIONS! If you want some insurance, do one of these assignments. Your extra credit points will be based on how good of a job you do on either assignment. So, try hard or don't expect big results.
Thanks!

Research Paper - Film Lit
BRIEF EXPLANATION:
Remember to use MLA Format!!! (http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/)
Research:
1. Pick some aspect of movies/film. Research that
thing. (This can be cinematography, animation, music in movies, the Oscars, an
actor, an actress, etc.)
a. This is going to take a little bit of effort
on your part. Use the internet, find RELIABLE sources. You may even want to go
to a few libraries. If you have the opportunity to go to the Orem Library, I
would definitely take that opportunity! They have many choices there. If you
have any books at home or have friends that have books about film, that would
also work out quite well.
b. If you wait until it gets close to the end of
the term, you are not going to be able to get it done in time then your grade
will suffer as you get a zero for this very important assignment.
2. Write an essay that shares with me what you
learned from the book and what insights you got. Really try to find some
interesting information that helps you to understand filmmaking even more
clearly.
a. If you researched an actor, what insights do
you now have about that actor? What were interesting stories that were told?
What movies did he/she act in and why were they important?
b. If you researched cinematography, what camera
shots did they talk about? What movies did they single out as having the best
cinematography EVER? What things do you now know about cinematography that you
didn’t before?
