Herzog 101
All Classes
For this week's blog entry, you are to read the article linked above. It has movie clips that you have to see at home. Yay for YouTube being blocked at school! This should be a good start for you to prepare for this Friday's screening of Nosferatu the Vampyre, which is the movie you will be writing about in your blog.

Let's Start Your Viewing Blogs
All Classes
First, if you lose your Acceptable Use Policy forms, you can download it here:
Just turn in page 3 & 4 of the form.
Second, before writing anything, and to avoid looking... well, not so smart, here are some links that will help improve your writing immediately. Although there is some pretty neat stuff at the Reference Guides at kids.lausd.net, I like the following guides so much more.
Now, here is an example of my Viewing Blog that I will keep along with you.
Then, head over to tumblr.com to start your Viewing Blog. You need only put in your new email address, a password of your own, and your mymail username to sign up.
Make sure you put your full name in the title of the blog, (i.e., "Jane Smith's Viewing Blog")
Finally, your first entry should be a brief synopsis of On the Waterfront and a detailed account of any cinematic techniques you noticed in the film as well as a few sentences on your opinion of the film.

Wrapping Cable
Periods 1-3
If you happen to forget our lesson on wrapping cable, here is a link that should help remind you how to wrap cable using the "over/under" method. It's a YouTube video, so you'll have to watch it at home. There are plenty of videos on the subject. This one was the shortest and most straight forward. Enjoy!
