Frecuencia: incluidoComentario: incluidoDetalles: Homework for this course will consist primarily of reading, watching films, and completing projects. In addition, students will complete three essays each trimester. Students will be provided with literary and film analysis worksheets and charts to complete as they read and view. These are designed as learning tools and may be collected periodically throughout the semester; however, they are graded for completion and effort. As an upper high school class, students are expected to pace themselves appropriately and complete all assignments as requested, even if the assignments are not collected or graded. Typical Workload -Read 1 novel a month -Write one essay a month -Watch 1-2 films a week (3-4 hours a week) -Complete one mini project each semester (2-4 hours) -Complete one major project each semester (10-20 hours)Evaluación
Frecuencia: incluidoDetalles: Assessments will take two forms. The first being the three essays that students will write each semester. These essays will assess both their knowledge and writing ability. Projects will be their second form of assessment and the most important. These projects will assess their knowledge and understanding as well as their ability to apply that knowledge in a way unique to them.Calificación
Frecuencia: incluidoDetalles: Grade will be provided at the end of each semester. Essays will be graded based on the former 9-point AP rubric and then modified to the 5-point scale. All other assignments will be graded based on the 5-point scale, then weighted appropriately. The 5-point scale: A=5 (4.5-5): Far surpasses all standards and expectations B=4 (3.5-4.4): above average, exceeds standard C=3 (2.5-3.4): Meets standard expectations and requirements D=2 (1.5-2.4): Needs improvement/meets some expectations but falls below standard F= 1 (0-1.4): Does not meet standard expectations 0=0: did not turn in or did not complete (A note on grading: My classes are designed to be easy to pass provided students put forth the effort; however, I do not grade easily. I expect my students to always give me their best effort, but quality of a finished product and assessment of learning, knowledge, and understanding require more than just effort. In other words, I am an easy C, but a hard A.)
Students are responsible for acquiring their own copies of all novels (audiobooks are allowed) and their own access to all films.

This course is designed for mature teenagers, as we will often discuss topics of a mature nature including but not limited death, suicide, drug use, sexuality, violence, etc. Many of the works covered contain mature themes and often have strong language. Parents should screen all films prior to watching, as individual sensibilities vary. In addition, many of the films do have an R-rating (noted under sources). While it is my position that these films are acceptable for most teens, others may disagree. The R-rating is typically due to violence, language, and mature subject content. Please note that while we will discuss all of the films to some extent, students are not required to watch all of them. Some films are listed as required while others are listed as recommended supplemental viewing. Required films will be the focus of lessons and discussions, while supplemental films will serve to provide a deeper understanding. Parents may always exclude a film at their discretion if they object to the content.
Novels: Shane In Cold Blood Catcher in the Rye Slaughterhouse 5, and a contemporary American novel of their choice (list provided) Films Some films are required, as they will be the focal point of lessons and discussions, while other films are optional, but recommended as supplemental viewing. These optional films will be discussed and referred to in class, but will not necessarily be the focal point. Student viewing is highly encouraged as it will provide a greater understanding of our core topics and focus. All R-rated films are noted, with all other films being rated either PG or PG-13. *Denotes required viewing. *Lego Batman *another Batman movie (student choice) *one MCU movie with Ironman (student choice) *Tombstone [R] The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly [R] *Die Hard [R] The Natural Field of Dreams Rudy *42 *When We Were Kings Secretariate *Rocky Air *12 Angry Men *Colombo *Psycho [R] *American Psycho [R] *Silence of the Lambs [R] *Dragon a Bruce Lee movie (student choice) *Apocalypse Now [R] *M*A*S*H [R] *The Watchmen [R] *Ferris Bueller’s Day Off *The Breakfast Club *Footloose
