Concept #27 #1

Thatcher should ask Linda the question over lunch at her favorite care. It private in a way, and she was trying to be alone for private time. He would have had a short sweet conversation to lead up to asking her. She is confused and doesn't know what to do, whether she should let him copy or let suffer the consequences of not doing his work. Even though she doesn't feel good about it, she helps him out.

2)Schreiber's Class.
Skit: A student in class throws a gum at another student, and only one person witnessed it. The foreign exchanged student saw it and didn't know what to do. If he should tell and suffer the consequences of being a "tattle teller". He didn't know what to do because he wanted to be accepted. He approached the victim and told her who threw the gum at her. The person who threw the gum from then bullied the foreign exchanged student.

3) I would like my short story to be at a school, house and the streets. All the events happen at those places.

Period 4 pilot 8

I really like the story and the conflict. Its very unique, everyone, including me, is writing about typical high school problems like pregnancy and drugs but i haven't heard a story about a teacher sexually harassing a student. I think its very creative. The format was perfect, grammar was good.

Groundhog day

The non linear structure was used by having the day repeat over and over. This is my favorite non linear movie we've seen in this class. I thought it was clever how they made the day repeat, and I loved the ending. I was thinking throughout the movie how they could end it, and they did a great job. I never saw it coming. I really enjoyed it.

Pilot script #4

I really liked this story. It was great and had my attention the whole time. The beginning wasn't boring so i really liked it. Its hard introducing characters without being a little boring but the they did a great job. The situation really had me into the story. I think the format is wrong, and theres a couple typos, but other than that everything was great. Great story :)))

Pilot script #3

I like the story, it started off interesting and it got more interesting. I like the use of damn and ass because its real life vocabulary but i think it was used too much. Its becoming really repetitive. Punctuation and grammar is good. Great story

Pilot Script Cheaters

A title would be nice. The format looks different, It should be in screenplay template. I think it would be nice to have a little introduction of the characters explaining how they are. It was a little confusing switching from person to person reading the text. I think it was a little slow, maybe a little humor or suspense.

Pilot Critique troubled life

I liked the story, I really like the how detailed it was and the teacher was very mean but i think it was reality because some teachers are like that. There were a couple of typos but other than that i thought it was good. I think the kids dialogue should be more like how kids talk, not as formal.

reflecting on psycho

It was very interesting watching an old school horror movie. Its probably the oldest scary movie I have seen and it was good. A little different from the movies we see today, for example the music is different. In newer movies its more quiet, and there is a sudden noise to scare the crowd. The story was great, I liked this movie.

I really like the story, and the conflict. Its a little confusing when you switch from mom to lauren. There are a couple spelling errors but other than that, I think you guys did a great job.
