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!

 Some help if you need it:

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...

"How it Feels to Be Colored Me" is an essay by  Zora Neale Hurston . Take a moment to read a bit of information about Zora Neale Hurston, then we'll read the essay in class. Look closely at how the article opens (the hook, lead-in, thesis), and how it develops (the body, topic sentences, argument), and notice the sentence structure (length, diction, syntax). After studying some of these elements respond to the article in writing. ESSAY PROMPT: What defines you? What single physical, mental, emotional trait defines you? Why? What is the significance of this trait?  ESSAY PROMPT: Think about your own educational experience. How multicultural has your experience been?  ESSAY PROMPT: Is there value in having a common culture (for example stressing the idea that we are all 'Americans' over fragmenting our culture)? Why or why not? ESSAY PROMPT: Does this idea of multiculturalism need updating? Is this issue still important--and, if so, why? ESSAY, PLAY, or M...
