"No News for Auschwitz" questions from yesterday are due at the beginning of class to Turnitin.com.
HOMEWORK: Go to library and pick up a copy of Night. Yes, please return All Quiet on the Western Front. Today you will work on creating an annotated bibliography for the four non-fiction articles we have read so far ("The Unknown Rebel," "The Man in the Water," "Shunned," and "No News for Auschwitz"). An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to books, articles, and documents. Each citation is followed by a brief (usually about 150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited. (source: http://guides.library.cornell.edu/annotatedbibliography) Regular annotated bibliographies can be quite detailed, and include reference to the quality/validity of the document, and ways it might be used in research. The annotated bibliographies you will be making will not be quite as immersive. Click here for an example of what I am looking for in terms of an annotated bibliography (again, it's like a works cited page with summaries added). Your annotated bibliography must be alphabatized. You do a regular works cited entry (use EasyBib), and then indent for your annotation. Your annotation should have two parts (seamlessly written together):

Critical Film Review: this will be due online next Friday, the 16th. We will be working on a few components (format, etc.) over the next few days, but no more in-class work time.
Here are some of Roger Ebert’s most scathing film reviews:
Police Academy (1984) - No Stars North (1994) - No Stars Battlefield Earth (2000) - ½ Star Charlie’s Angels (2000) - ½ Star Fantastic Four (2004) - 1 Star Armageddon (1998) - 1 Star Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) - 1 Star Footloose (2011) - 1 ½ Stars Pay attention to the number of stars Ebert (did or did not) awarded the film, and his keen use of description. The idea is not for you to write a negative review, but for you to see more examples of the passion and intensity with which he approaches the films he must describe (plus, these are quite funny!). Begin drafting your Critical FIlm Review. For every detail you mention in the film version your are focusing on, you will need to have a correlating quote from the novel. We’ll go over this component more tomorrow (CDs from the novel that support the film), but for now try just answering the questions on the Critical Film Review assignment sheet from the film components you chose to focus on. You should be reading and writing quietly. Don’t forget to plug your Chromebook back in when you are done! Turn in your rubric and printed Paragraph Portfolio Reflection to the basket.
Examples of critical film reviews: Roger Ebert - Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971) Roger Ebert - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) Roger Ebert - Hamlet (1991) Roger Ebert - Hamlet (1996) Roger Ebert - The Hunger Games (2012) Roger Ebert - Romeo and Juliet (1968) Roger Ebert - Romeo + Juliet (1996) Michael Medved - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part II (2011) - Audio Review Michael Medved - Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016) - Audio Review |
