What you are doing: You should research a class-appropriate short film to share with the class. You may use your laptops or phones to watch. Once you find the one you want to share, email me ([email protected]) the link with an explanation of why you are choosing this short film. This is an individual selection. You can discuss with others, but you must submit own choice.
Oh, and don't claim that you don’t know what I’m looking for or can’t find any school-appropriate short films--I found tons of possibilities by searching this -“school appropriate short films”—some sites may be blocked, but I do believe you can all do this if you actually try.
