Final day in the library (room 121).

Note 1: you can revise one blog post this semester and resubmit it for a better grade.  You have until April 20th to resubmit.

Note 2: The rubric will alter slightly as a category for your source will be added.  It will evaluate the quality of your source and how well it is integrated into the text.

Note 3:  Commenting on other's blog due date has been moved to Fridays instead of Thursday due to the number who forget.

Note 4: From now on, points will be taken off for incorrect formatting of titles

  • Women were women
  • Men were always just and moral and the hero
  • Lighting was bright and even
  • few camera "tricks" (no playing around with angels and such)
  • Bad guys were always just bad (no complications or ambiguity)
Film Noir:





Bring to class:

  • major themes
  • major character types
  • rules
  • frequent symbols/images
