Where we are at...

Hey Earthlings,

Just wanted to give you guys a heads-up about things.

1. We've read several articles at this point, more than enough for your journal entries. I'll give you until the end of next week (April 15th/16th) to get them done.

2. I hope you finished the website-evaluation exercise. I'll be marking those over the next week or so. They're looking good so far, very thoughtful work (for the most part)

3. After a very brief look at video games (just a couple of periods) we'll be launching into the film unit. Be ready: This unit contains your summative assignment worth 30% of your final mark.

In the spirit of the movie unit, I now provide you with a couple of film reviews. In the need to save time, I have written them in Haiku form:

HOT TUB TIME MACHINE

Not very funny
I think that I am too old
For gross out humour

REPOT MEN

Actually not bad
Violent with some good ideas
Filmed in Toronto

THE GHOST WRITER

Roman Polanski
Thinks he is Alfred Hitchcock
He comes pretty close
