Our class consisted of two major parts, the beginning of class was a reminder of what our Be Reel Blogs should contain, and a second portion, called the Movie Menu, as Mr. Rivers no cleverly put it. For the Be Reel, the 7 major points, (Deliberately title article, Credit relevant artists, Context, Summarize plot, Evaluate content, Evaluate meaning, Conclude) should be met. The word count, 500-700 words, was also addressed. Mr. Rivers explained that you can absolutely go over the word count if you feel you need to, but 500 is the minimum.
The movie menu is the second part of the Be Reel. We were given two options, the "Based on your interest", or the "Rankings". The "Based on your interest" is a grouping of similar films that relate to your film. There should be at least 4 films. The other option, rankings, are a list of films in a similar category, ranked best to worst, or in some other way. Either choice is fine, it is up to you to decide which you would rather explore.
The next thing Mr. Rivers went over was the Senior Paper survey, which was designed to allow students to express concerns over the format of the senior paper. This included format, time limits, in class activities, and more. The option was given to either post anonymously, or to post with your name. Students who posted with their name indicated that they were willing to discuss further, while anonymous meant it was over for them.
The latter half of class was spent as free time to work, whether that be on Be Reel Blogs, or the senior paper survey. Personally, I worked on the Survey, as the feelings of the paper were fresher in my mind, and I was ready to put it all on paper before i forgot about it. Overall, the majority of the class was free time to work.
