The Long Way Home paper ideas

  • If anyone wants to watch a related movie or two, here are two good ones: "Paradise Now" - a fictional account of how two young Palestinian men decide to become suicide bombers. "Death in Gaza" a documentary by a British filmmaker of kids raised in Palestine today.
  • A visit to the local "Museum of Tolerance" will add to your personal experience - and could be used for your observation paper
  • Your private reactions to the movie and how this intense vision in "The Long Way Home" relates to what your friends and teachers have or have not communicated to you about this situation
    Ask 5-6 people what they know about this 'situation.'
  • The political scene today - how the events depicted in this movie folds into it.
  • any library research you might quickly do on people's attitudes about Jews and/or the Middle East today
  • The human being and human groups - and what you learned about it through this movie. What have you learned about our "human family?"
  • Immigration - contrast to today. (careful here of advocacy)
  • These are just a few ideas to focus your thoughts and reactions to the movie and how you might write about it.
  • See the post below for the switch in Paper #3 and Paper #4: changed the order so #4 is first, followed by #3

Night Writers!

Let's do Film paper (Paper #4) first, then Paper #3. Got it? While the film is fresh, do that paper. So that is the paper you email to me by Thur May 6th, 6PM, furlough day. Comment here if confused.

Can someone please fill me in?!

I am unable to make class this evening and would like to know of anything important that I missed. It will be GREATLY appreciated!!!

Thanks!

paper 2

is anyone else having a problem opening the example papers? for some reason i can't open them. if you can open it and save it as a word doc. can you email it to me? arlenes522@yahoo.com

movie choice

i think avator would be a good choice...it involves us humans wanting to go take over another place without actually knowing anything about them or their culture.
