Choose the appropriate syllabus for you class obviously.

remember that the movie list is not a list of films you need to see or even should see.  It is a list of influential films that have shaped current filmmaking or have had a very significant impact on society or the film industry.  Many of the films are NOT appropriate and are therefore NOT suggested viewing.

As we are moving forward with technology integration I have decided that printers seem to be a hassle of the past.  so instead of printing or handwriting I am going to have written work turned in via Google Docs with the use of your Warriorlife account.  If you already have a password hat is awesome, if not I will have them for you next week when everyone has schedules sorted out.
