I hope that you are enjoying your Winter Break! It's been a beautiful weekend. As mentioned in class, I have put up a possible bonus assignment for you to complete, if you choose. The bonus assignment can:
- Replace a missing assignment
- Add 1% to your overall, final mark
The bonus assignment will be due on Friday, January 7th, and will involve you setting up a time to complete a short 5-10 conversation with me about the film + a typed response to the following questions below.
DOCUMENTARY OPTIONS - MY OCTOPUS TEACHER OR 14 PEAKS
Both are available on Netflix or to rent. If you aren't able to get access to Netflix, you can see me in January about watching it over a few lunch times in my classroom.
TASK - Watch one of the documentaries, taking notes and recording key moments from the movie as you watch. When you are finished answer the following questions:
1. Describe two scenes from the documentary that stood out to you, explain why they were engaging, and explain the messages of the filmmakers.
2. What one message from the documentary that you really agreed with and found powerful. Explain why you liked the message of the documentary and what you learned.
3. In what ways were the protagonists of the documentary (hiker or diver) connected to nature and the natural environment? How does this compare to your own relationship to the natural world?
4. Describe 1-2 questions that you are thinking about after watching the documentary. What do you want to know more about and why?
