Checking the Blogs
Friday, January 26, 2007
I will get caught up this weekend with the blogs (where have I heard that before!). Actually, as I type this, I have already finished about half.

I see a lot of really good blogging going on here. The main thing is to focus your attention on traditions and culture of America. You can look for the big picture or focus on individuals who portray how Americans behave. Look for little things that only Americans do.

Also look in the background at the artifacts in the room and environment of the actors. Try to see stuff that is strictly American or orginated in America. These films are usually full of such devices and props.

Some of you are in trouble and getting into even more trouble as we come to the end of the semester. You must blog at least ten movies to pass this course. What is it that those who are behind do not understand? BLOG. BLOG. BLOG.
