...CLEAR THE GATE AND RUN THE DAILIES....

We are now moving quickly into the 20th Century...NATIONALISM. Tragically, we will discuss how Europe expanded themselves in IMPERIALISM and MILITARISM that will lead to the darkness of WORLD WAR I.

"We would like to thank the members of the Academy for the awards that will follow...."

STARRING the leading roles of Kaiser Wilhelm, Czar Nicholas II, King George...and so many, many others...an ALL STAR CAST...

We are more than caught up on our reading so we will make a slight change this month - you have one reading due, and then I want you to work on LEARNING THE DATES required to learn by the end of the year - you will be creating PNEUMONIC DEVICES to help you memorize these crucial dates of history...

NEW PROJECT
Time Travel Television Show

You will be creating a SCREENPLAY and PERFORMING your own historical cross-over performance which will be "filmed" in MAY (time to be scheduled later).

Just like the Twilight Zone episode we saw in class, your objective is to put on your time-warp, historic comparison play before an audience that will "rate" your episode.

If you lost your rubric and instructions, you can obtain a new one by CLICKING HERE.

OH! And by the way - it must be entirely BLACK and WHITE (that means, costumes, props, backdrops....everything....must be black, white or grey....no color [just like in the 1960s])...

You need to include a time-associated 30 second commercial in your "film."

SCREENPLAY deadline: Thursday, April 27
FILMING schedule: May (TBD)
