Philosophy Film Project: Day 3

By -
Please go to the lab to work on our philosophy film projects today.

Philosophy Project:

1. You should have completed your research on your philosopher by now--get the basic idea & be able to explain key points, etc.
2. You should have written your script of 1-2 pages in length by now, using your notes
3. You should have collected images and JPG's from the internet that go along with your philosopher and his/her main points. You should use these images to create a film with your script as a voice over.

 Please note: you should have completed 1-3 above already. If you have not done so, you are falling far behind and need to complete this work this morning!

 4. Use Soundbooth and the microphone to create an MP4 (save as an MP4) of your script!

 NOTE: Please ask for microphones from Ms. Gamzon's lab on the 2nd floor (room 239) if you need one. 

 5. Upload MP4 into Moviemaker
6. Edit and rearrange film; upload to Youtube. Send me the link in the comments section below!

TIP: If you have researched your philosopher and created a short 1-2 page "script" summarizing the key points in the philosopher's ideas in your own words--you should spend your time in the lab today by recording your script, uploading and working with Moviemaker, etc. Get the microphone from Ms. Gamzon.

Today, create a short film using Windows MovieMaker. If you are absent, or you don't finish your project, please complete this work for Monday. I'll be giving you one more period in the lab to conduct final touches to your project on Monday. Be ready to complete your project please!

HOMEWORK: Read The Pirates In An Adventure with The Romantics. It's due Monday, May 4 as well. It's a comedy, contemporary, and frivolous written by a British lad, so read it and enjoy.

Let's go back to examining  The Namesake , Chapter 1 this morning to continue examining the writing style going on here. Take a closer look at these passages: Pg. 3 (1st full paragraph) to 4 (end of 1st full paragraph): How is Ashima's character compared/contrasted with the American women in the hospital? What do you notice about the sentence structure of this paragraph? What does the use of dialogue in this paragraph provide for the reader? What literary devices do you notice? Can you find figurative language/metaphor/alliteration or other elements of imagery? How are the sentences similar to a contraction (the action in the scene)? Pg. 10-12: how is Ashoke's character presented? How does his story parallel or contrast with his wife's? How is Ashoke different from the other American men in the waiting room? What details do we learn about him?  Pg. 13-14: Nickolai Gogol and the short story "The Overcoat" is alluded to here. Just notice it for now. This al

Use period one to continue the story draft you started last class. Use your time to develop your ideas, theme, work on plot, character development, setting, and other aspects of your fiction writing. Remember, your story should include the following: Write a draft that includes a flashback . Consider an urban setting, but at some point in your story, move to a more natural setting. The setting should reflect the inner conflicts of your protagonist if possible. Avoid character cliches: surprise your reader (and possibly yourself or even your character) Include a secondary character who should act as a foil to the protagonist. Write in present tense ; (flashbacks can be written in past tense); Use 3rd person POV (limited, omniscient, objective). See the previous post for more details. Period 2: Let's discuss what we've read so far in the collection. Wilderness Tips is   Margaret Atwood’s second volume of short stories ( Bluebeard’s Egg and Other Stories (198
