This Week in Film

CCHS will screen a documentary by local filmmaker Tom Shadyac called "I Am." It is part of the Peace Pilgrim celebration. 

If you are unaware of the fascinating and inspiring life of Peace Pilgrm, please view, at least skim, the documentary on this Hamilton Township native.

Also, from the annals of "ways knowledge of visual arts could really help you in even unlikely professions," here is an interesting topic for discussion by the Office of Homeland Security.

9/11 Documentary Assignment

If you missed part of the the doc, or just want to rewatch some of it. I linked it here.

Assignment, Essay #1: Write a reaction to the documentary viewed in class. The essay should focus on your overall reaction to the documentary itself, not the event. In other words, you should focus on the element of the doc that most profoundly affected you. In order to integrate research into the process, I want you to also find at least one fact, figure, statistic or other truth about 9/11 that you did not know until researching this assignment. Parenthetically document the one source. I will explain if this confuses you. Do not worry too much about the format of the citation this time. Just come as close to what you have been taught.
