Welcome back from that extremely unexpected FOUR-day weekend!
This week you will generate a presentation COMPARING AND CONTRASTING Mona Lisa Smile and Dead Poets Society. The distinguishing should apply to characters, setting, themes, outcome, plot, etc. The presentation should consist of at least 15 slides, have graphics, scenes, character photos that apply to each slide, and have correct grammar usage and content for accurate description. The first slide should have your name and a title, and the last slide should provide an explanation of which movie you preferred/related to most and why. This leaves at least 13 slides to be used for distinguishing. How creative can you get? This is due (emailed) by the end of class on MONDAY.
Make this fun! There is no limit to what or who you can compare and contrast so try to think outside the box!
We will begin presenting on Tuesday.

BLOG for Friday, February 20th...
(*All of the blogs from this week are due by Monday morning.)
Again, be thorough in your responses!
1. Who is the most influential leader you have ever had? Why did he or she have such an influence on you?
2. “We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering; these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love; these are what we stay alive for.” Professor John Keating says this—what do you think it means? Do you agree? What are your views on poetry and why we read it?
3. “I stand upon my desk to remind myself that we must constantly look at things in a different way. The world looks very different up here… Just when you think you know something you have to look at it in another way… When you read, don’t just consider what the author thinks, you must consider what you think.” Comment on this quote from Professor Keating. Do you agree? Why or why not? Do you have a personal story about a time you took another perspective?
4. Keating asks his students to consider what their ‘verse,’ or lasting impression, will be when they leave either Welton or this world. What ‘verse’ will you contribute in your lifetime? What do you hope will be the lasting impression you leave behind?

BLOG for THURSDAY, February 19th...
Be thorough in your responses!
1. Would Neil still have committed suicide if Mr. Keating had never come into his life? Consider multiple perspectives here as you draft your group response.
2. Who was really the bravest of Keating’s boys? Who was a coward? Be explicit and support your answers.
3. How did the poetry book make it into Neil’s room? (Did Keating put it there?) And if so, why, after telling the boys that the present administration would not look favorably on it, would Keating do that?

BLOG FOR WEDNESDAY February 18th...
Title the Blog with the Theme you choose to describe.
Theme:
As the film progresses, it becomes readily apparent that each primary character faces a challenge. These conflicts help suggest a theme, or central message, that the author and director are trying to impart to the audience.
What do you consider to be Dead Poets Society‘s central theme? Explain with examples in a well-developed paragraph of at least 200 words.
