SEMINAR: Harold and Maude






When you are not in seminar, work on your post-write and/or read Into the Wild and work on pre-write.
TURN IN YOUR SEMINAR PREP!!!
Honors:  Turn in The Stranger and the post-write.

 Seminar Post-write (due Friday midnight)
1.  Reflection/Self-Assess
  • Reflect on the outcome of the seminar.  Consider your own performance and the seminar overall.  How did you do personally and how did the group do collectively?   Based on the rubric, what grade do you deserve on the seminar?
  • React to your peers’ ideas (be specific) and the meaning you all constructed together.  Was there anything that enlightened you?  Something you particularly disagree with?  How did your thinking about the film change as a result of this seminar?


2.  Synthesis
  • Make an interpretive claim about the film and support it with evidence.  Your claim may be something you develop further from your seminar prep, or it may be a new idea that you acquired during the seminar.  Write 2-3 paragraphs in support of your claim.
Here is a link to some movie quotes that you may want to integrate into your synthesis.

 Weekend Homework:
Read Into the Wild for Monday’s first literature circle and complete pre-write for the meeting
