Current Events: Not happening!

Sorry for the late update. I spent my entire sunday packing. It is 9pm and the first time that I have had a chance to use the internet since early this morning.

There is no current events this week. If you feel like finding an interesting article and sending it to me, I will give you up to 5 bonus points.

Sorry!

Television Project

By class on Monday each of you must choose a television show to complete a project on. This project will have a written component and a presentation component. Unless it is pre-agreed upon, you must choose a television show from the list of Time Magazine's 100 Best Television Shows. This is the same list that we have been working with for 3 days.

If you have a television show that is not on the list, you must email me and say why you think it is a worthwhile show to research. I will then decide if you can choose that show. And before you ask Nick, ALF is not a show that can be researched. There are only so many things you can say about a cat-eating alien from Malmac. But here is a halloween episode for you.

Once you have a show chosen or approved, you must post it to the blog.

Current Events: March 14, 2010

Here are this weeks articles for our current events quiz. Please remember that you are allowed to have a "20 word cheat-sheet" for the quiz.

This article is about a new HBO miniseries from the makers of Band of Brothers.

Here is an article from a few weeks ago about a video game that has its roots in classic literature.

South by Southwest was held this weekend. Read about it here.

Current Events: Oscars Night!

Ladies and gentlemen- we have been working up to tonight for a week. Instead of posting current events, I would like each of you to post a 2 paragraph response to anything relating to the Academy Award presentation. This paragraph could be why you are surprised a film won, commenting on their acceptance speech, or anything for that matter. You could even comment on the red carpet, how well the hosts did-- I really want you to be creative.

If you are unable to watch the broadcast, you can go here for information/updates.
