Follow up to "The Game Plan"


I hope you are enjoying watching "The Game Plan" in our class. I think it was your lucky day that I have been sick. This allowed me to move our movie day up to this week. Remember, as you watch the movie please be looking for a paragraph that you can write about it. You may write a descriptive paragraph, a contrast or comparison paragraph or a cause and effect paragraph. I see so many options for you with this movie.

You may want to bring a little snack or a nice pillow to class on Thursday and make yourself at home! :) I know I want to come comfortable to class so I can sit back and enjoy the show!

Who is your favorite character? Would you drink that "smoothie" with tuna and raw eggs in it? I don't know if I could.

If you want to re-watch the movie it can be found at YouTube by pushing on this link:
http://www.youtube.com/movie?v=9D-N4HyU4FU&ob=av1e&feature=mv_sr . It costs $1.99 for 48 hours. I think you can watch it on YouTube in parts as well if you want.

See you on Thursday~!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

To my students! Happy Valentine's Day to you! I hope you are enjoying your time in writing class.I know that sometimes writing, grammar and all that goes with the process can be quite boring and take a lot of time! Be patient! What I am trying to teach you will be important to you as you go on to UNK! Your professors will need you and expect you to be good writers. How is your comparison paragraph coming? How do you think you did on the descriptive paragraph? I hope that you are enjoying blogging and reading what each other has posted. Its' fun!

Enjoy the evening and I will see you again on Thursday! I am glad we made the move to stay in Otto Olsen for two classes. It is working much better for me!

Press on the link above and enjoy my favorite commercial from the Super Bowl! I hope you enjoyed the great snow week-end and even got outside to build a snow man!

I am busy grading your papers. I have been very impressed with your time-writings about your favorite movie category. Many of you like action movies and many of you like romance movies. I think we should work toward a movie day in class. Let's plan it! What movie should we watch? Maybe we can watch a movie and then write about it! Sounds great to me!

Let me know what kind of movies you like. I will look at all suggestions! See you Tuesday in class.
