Grimm

Part I:

As a class we have watched a couple episodes of Grimm together. As you all know Grimm is set in Portland. Do you think this is a good choice? What about Portland works or doesn't work for the setting of Grimm (e.g. Is there something about the city of Portland that makes the show better? Something that makes it worse?) Give me 3-5 sentences about your thoughts on this topic.

Part II:

After spring break, we are hoping to have a few guests from the show Grimm. Created a bulleted list of 5 questions you would like to ask the Grimm actors/producers/crew that comes to visit us. They can be questions about acting/TV shows in general, or they can be questions specific to the show. Try to avoid yes or no questions and shoot for more open-ended questions. 

                [example]

• What is the most challenging part about working on the Grimm set? 

You may work in groups for Part II of this blog post and share your questions with each other. 

How to Train Your Dragon

For your first blog post, you are going to tell me about your favorite movie. There are THREE parts to this that  you can do in any order/format.

PART 1: List me a minimum of five specific/technical reasons including a brief 1-2 sentence explanation of why this is your favorite movie.

[example]

How to Train Your Dragon is the best movie ever because:

• The composer used the full breadth of the orchestra to create a movie score that captures both the majesty of flying on a dragon as well as the lighthearted comedic moments in the film. 
• The animation of the movie is unique, it has an interesting setting and the dragons were created in vivid and interesting ways. 
• The dialogue is witty and well written with a main character that has a unique and authentic voice. 

PART 2: Write a brief (5-7) sentence paragraph describing the time in which you first saw this movie, or the time which is most memorable. This section must be in paragraph form and use complete sentences with proper grammar and punctuation.



Part 3: Photo - Attach a photo with the cover of the movie somewhere in the blog post. If you need help, contact Mr. Orofino.
