Read through chapter 4 by Wednesday and through chapter 6 over the break!!!
For this week:
Monday: Work on Reflections Project. Discuss how the Simpsons Intro video reflects the Modernist theme of disillusionment.
Tuesday: Work on Reflections Project. Afterward, continue exploring film technique, then, in groups, analyze "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" (see video)
Wednesday: Work on Reflections Project - finish it over the break! Afterward, we will take a quiz on The Great Gatsby chapters 3 & 4, then watch the first four chapters' worth of the film version, looking for symbolism and thematic relevance.
Thursday: Continue film critique project by finding one film critique per person to delineate on your blog. Afterward, with your groups, watch your assigned films and complete the analysis sheet, looking for scenes and symbolic elements that reflect a Modernist era theme.
Friday: Continue film critique with groups, then post this week's blog as a direct response to the points made in the film critique you found and delineated in your previous blog post. Do you agree with each argument? Disagree? Use specific evidence from the critique and the film to support your evaluation.
Here's another animated version of Prufrock.
It is very well-done and super creepy, but it is only half of the poem :/.
