This is the first assignment of Marking Period 3 – it is due by 11:59 PM on Wednesday, December 4, and it is worth 50 points. For the original assignment – go here.
I really want us to dig into movies in this Senior Current Issues course. If that is the case then I would like you 
to look at the main characters and contemplate why they do what they do with more intensity, with more depth than we did on this assignment. Maybe in the process we will see the world in a different light as well. For the most part, while I believe you enjoyed The Cider House Rules, and while you may have thought about the issues brought forth in a reflective way, I don’t feel as though we really dug into these issues that pushed the movie to the edge. I got the feeling reading many of your posts that for the most part you wrote and wrote and at the end of it all you just stopped. However many words – that was it. A lot of the posts didn’t feel edited or reviewed. And many had no conclusion. You should always when you write for blogs, posts, assignments, or life – sum up your thoughts with some kind of a concluding insight.
