Today, the nineteenth of December, in the year two-thousand-sixteen, We started class by looking at the IWBAT objectives on the board. Mr. Rivers then announced to the class that he will be collecting Ready Player One books all week for the people that had not already turned theirs in on Friday. On a side note he recommended to anyone who lost or destroyed their book to simply buy a new one and bring it in instead of bringing money to pay for a new one.

Instead of immediately diving into a lesson plan as usual we watched the Pixar short film's Day and Night, and Paperman, so that the other class could catch up because they had a cut off period with the fire drill on Friday. Before watching these movies there was a short discussion on the origin of pixar short movies.

We shifted Gear again after watching these two films and turned our attention back to the document we began working on Friday. We briefly reviewed the formal expectations of a movie review. They are as follows:

Deliberately title article

Credit relevant artists

Provide necessary content

Summarize plot

Evaluate content

Evaluate meaning/theme

Conclude

Mr. Rivers then made an example paragraph that was focused on providing necessary background information. He asked the class for ideas for the formulation of this paragraph. It went as follows:

“Feast”, a short film directed by Patrick Osborn, illustrates a tale about a dog named Winston. It focuses on his food habits, and how those habits are affected by his owner’s relationship with a waitress. The Oscar-winning animated short was produced for Big Hero 6. In just six minutes, the film transcends the boundaries of what it means to be a short film.

Our last activity was to look back at the paragraphs we had made on Friday so that we could number them in order of relevance to the audience One group said the order should be A,E,C,B,D,F, wheras our group said it should be A,E,C,D,B,F.

Finally the class ended.
