Wednesday May 30/12

Today we will finish watching Streetcar and then you will write a journal response assessing the differences between the movie and the play. You will conclude your journal by stating your opinion about the changes made in the movie. Did you like them? Why or why not? Due at the end of the period.

If you have a legitimate reason for today’s absence you may watch the movie at lunch in my room and write the journal during tomorrow’s class. Otherwise it’s a zero.
