What?

Words cannot describe. Simply watch and try to keep your mouth closed because this is jawdropping. I love short films and I love films without spoken words. This does both. Amazing. And if you want to see a cleaner version, watch the ad here.

My new movie site is down today - so no original clip. If anyone wants to read how the posted video was filmed, read about it here.

The Whole World is in Your Hands

Yup - we finished the movie today (except for 5th period). Regardless - you will be taking the World exam tomorrow. Whole class period. Hard copy AND clicker entry. No extensions. Please remember to be quiet when finished. Bring a book, some other classwork, or a pillow. So long as you are not disruptive, I do not care what you are doing (NO MP3 PLAYERS!).

Romo Must Be Crazy

So, we're into day 3 of "The Gods Must Be Crazy." You have hopefully been keeping track of the plot, sequence of events, characters (including objects), and interactions between everything/everyone. You'll be making a poster depicting these connections on Friday.

I distributed two handouts (white = cities and gold = sites/buildings) for you to study from for a test in a couple of weeks. The left-hand column is for WHERE, while the right-hand column is for a description. The test will be based on photo identification. There will be a slide-show with a picture asking you to either indicate the WHERE or NAME of what is being shown.

I think Cartman has been listening to Adnan too much...
