Our focus remains on drama. Today, we examined screenplays. We analyzed how a written play or screenplay is changed when performed or filmed. We did this by looking closely at a scene from the film "Dead Poet's Society."
First, we read a scene from the script for "Dead Poet's Society." Students played different parts. After that, students completed a worksheet based upon the script. After that, we watched the corresponding clip from the movie. Students thought about how the film differed from the written script. Students completed yet another worksheet about the filmed version.
The film clip we used in class today can be found on YouTube:

The remainder of our class was spent preparing for the End-of-Course-Test, which will be given on Monday and Tuesday. This exam makes up 15% of your overall grade, and you have already been taught the skills for successfully passing, so please come prepared. Also, remember the USA Test Prep website:
http://www.usatestprep.com
This website has practice tests, drills, games, and instructional videos to help you prepare. Last week, we went to the computer lab and you set up a login ID and password. Hopefully, you remember this. If you don't, email me and I will try to get you the information to let you create a new account. I will try to check my email over the long break.
