As the days leading up to Christmas break wind down, Mr. Rivers' class keeps chugging along. Today, we continued our class' critical review of the Disney short film "Feast." Specifically, we began to analyze some of the countless themes involved within the film. First, we chose from the list of potential themes pertaining to the many topics we've compiled over the past two days. Having chosen a particular theme, each desk group then analyzed their theme. Along with my group, consisting of Lauren Mitchell, Annie Monroe, Michael Loh, and myself, we analyzed a theme proposed by Kirk Brown. By working together to formulate scholarly sentences, we developed short paragraphs about the theme we selected, keeping the context of the review in mind.
After carefully crafting our desk group's theme paragraph, Mr. Rivers asked us to read through the other groups' paragraphs in an effort to choose the three best paragraphs. After taking a vote on the three best, groups B, C, and D were found to be the overall winners. So, having won the miniature competition, each of these three groups' won the honor of having their paragraphs featured in the class' final review of "Feast." While my group's paragraph was unfortunately not selected, I still learned a bit more about developing scholarly, and analytical paragraphs in a clear and specific manner. Overall, I felt that today was a quite productive day.
