    Comment here on any good (or dreadfully awful) movies that you see at a theater or at home. In addition to your opinions, try to include some interesting insights about the movie, perhaps some background details, your thoughts on the theme to a movie and connections to topics we cover in Humanities. Here’s an example:

    ‘Napoleon Dynamite’

    Movie Review: Some people love this movie and others hate it, but if you like unique and quirky movies, you’ll probably watch this over and over like I did. Napoleon is a high school student, the stereotypical nerd, but he comes off as being a new kind of hero who does what he can to help his friend, Pedro, become school president.

    Of course, you can tell us more than this if you like, but don’t give away too much of the plot that would spoil the ending!

    If you have the ‘embed’ code at YouTube for a particular movie that you are reviewing, pass it along, and we’ll include the video clip at this blog post! As with other video clips at the blog, when you hit play, let the video clip ‘buffer’ through the first time, then it will play smoothly.

    First is a montage of video for the movie, ‘Napoleon Dynamite.’

    Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the making of ‘Ratatouille’ - mentioned in a recent comment.

    Think about podcasting, creating audio and/or video files. Be ready to connect a podcast idea to what we are studying in Humanities - as part of an assignment or your chance to earn extra credit. Some possibilities include recording your thoughts about a book you have read or expressing your take on a current event in the news. Below are a few examples of podcast files that were done for chapters 1 - 3 of ‘The Little Prince.’ Feel free to post your comments about these chapter recordings, or share your ideas about possible podcasts for second semester!

    ‘The Little Prince’ Ch. I (3 recordings)

    ‘The Little Prince’ Ch. II (2 recordings)

    ‘The Little Prince’ Ch. III (3 recordings)
