Even now that it is increasingly difficult to get administrative approval for showing complete movies, it is still possible to show clips of movies that can introduce and reinforce literary terms. Students will answer questions to develop comparison/contrast writing. Students will also write personal writing assignments on dreams that they have for their lives making connections to characters in the movies. Poetry can be reviewed for a multi-genre branch to the unit. Note: If you don't see a Navigation Bar on this page, please click here, then click on GPAWP Summer Diary to get back to this page.
