The class today primarily focused around a brief review of our goals for our podcast slides, with a majority of the class period being set aside for groups to work independently on their respective podcast slides. Before Mr. Rivers sent us off to work and discuss in our groups he reminded us of a few things that we should set out to accomplish/keep in mind while we do our podcasts and create our podcast slides;
1) During our podcast, make sure not to summarize and explain our film because it only wastes time
2) Have a unique logo for your podcast group and have it on your slide
3) Out of your groups' 4 chosen films, not group member should have seen more than 2 of them
Afterwards, Mr. Rivers turned us loose to work on our podcast slide(s) in our groups. My group personally, in addition to adding a few new features to our slide (like creating a logo), also extensively discussed the order in which we should watch the Stanley Kubrick films that we have chosen. After a short debate, we decided that we should watch and discuss the films chronologically, starting with Dr. Strangelove (1964), and ending with Full Metal Jacket (1987). Today's lesson can easily connect outside of school and to real life situations as it requires you to be able to work with other people in order to accomplish a group project or assignment. Whether it is in college, at your place of employment, or even now in high school, in order to succeed in life, you need to be able to cooperate with other people and hear others' inputs and opinions. By doing this and using these skills, you ensure that the project/assignment will be the best it can be and is a collaboration of everyone's efforts and ideas.
