Thursday, March 3

Objective: Students will take notes on a film to use while writing their movie reviews.

Do-Now: If you were Ree, would you give up on looking for your father? (Consider what has happened in the movie up until this point.)  Why or why not?  Would your personal safety be more important to you than your family's well-being?  (Remember, if she doesn't find her father, her family will lose their house.)  Why do you think Ree is refusing to give up on looking for her father?  What do you think will, ultimately, happen to her and her family?

Agenda: 1) Finish watching "Winter's Bone"

2) Movie Reviews: You will begin writing your own movie review for "Winter's Bone."  You may use the sample reviews we read on Tuesday as guides.  Remember to include in your review:

1) A brief summary of the movie's plot (without giving away the ending or any important events)
2) What you liked/disliked about the movie
3) Who the main actors were and how well/badly the actors portrayed their characters
4) A comparison of the movie to similar movies you've seen
5) Your ultimate opinion on the movie as a whole and how the movie made you feel

Homework: Finish writing your movie review.
