Jaws

To end my Lit & Language 11 class, my students are watching Jaws. For their final essay, they will write an analysis of it.

I'm a terrible planner. The end of the semester just snuck right up on me. I could have stretched Mockingbird a few days and ended perfectly with that. Or I could have sped things up and left two weeks to fit in Hemingway.

But we'll make it work. So far the kids are riveted. We'll have a good discussion about the power of suggestion and film technique tomorrow.

When it's over, I plan on showing them this as an example of summary - and humor.
