Class Notes- January 3, 2020

Today class opened with Mr. Rivers telling us more information about our senior paper. He reminds us that our senior paper is a graduation requirement. If you completely fail yours you will still get the failing grade but you will have to make another "passing paper".

The class then did a little activity where there were multiple titles for senior papers from years before and tried to figure out what is academic and cinematic about the titles.  After spending a couple minutes on that, Mr Rivers posted a new assignment with a doc titled "SHS Academies". Essentially what we did was pick a little piece of paper with a number on it and met up with whoever had the same number. When we got into our groups we were all assigned different academies/disciplines, for example: English/Language Arts, Health, Physical Education, and Wellness, mathematics, etc. We were then instructed to try to come up with questions, assertions, and/or values for them. After we came up with all of that we then tried to tie cinema into the questions, assertions and values. We had a little amount of time to do that.

One thing that Mr. Rivers wants us to bring in or at least have an idea on Monday is to bring either side (Academic or cinematic) that you could use for your senior paper. He wants us to start thinking about this.
