One more day, one more day, one more day.... We can do this!
Seniors: Did you return your biography library books from our project? Also, if you will have no use for the costume articles that you picked up on our field trip, please donate them to the classroom. I'm sure I can put them to good use! Reminder - your Shakespeare background packet is due tomorrow. Be ready to start my favorite Shakespearean tragedy after break: Macbeth!
Juniors: What did you think of the decision of the elderly couple in today's story, "A Summer Tragedy?" What would cause them to go to such drastic measures? What would you do if you were in their situation? 5 bonus points for a thoughtful comment under this post!
Lit and Film: I'm not gonna lie...those birds give me the creeps! Scanning your faces as you were watching today's segment with the bird attacks at the birthday party and fireplace, some of you are also a little affected by these birds! This classic film used nearly 300 camera trick shots and was revolutionary for its sound effects and editing. As we continue to watch The Birds, pay special attention to the sounds in the film, especially the bird scenes. What do you think the sounds add to the mood of the film and/or the characters and why? 5 bonus points for a thoughtful comment under this post!
i think the sounds are pretty creepy, the birds screeching definately adds to the hysteria part of the film.
ReplyDeletethe film is actually better than what i expected. still a little silly because im so sue to the horror films these days but good:)
+5 Falcongirl! I agree the sound of the birds adds to the hysteria. Notice how when the attacks happen, that the sound of the birds is all you can hear. There's no sounds of screaming or anything else. It is a part of the psychological thrill of it. If you were actually in that situation, it's all you would hear.
