Movie/Book Review

Of Mice and Men
Blog Homework

We just finished reading and watching Steinbeck’s novel Of Mice and Men. Some people prefer to read the novel, while others will always choose the movie. Which did you enjoy and why? Log onto our class blog and write a 2-3 paragraph response. I want to know why you liked/disliked the novel, and why you liked/disliked the movie. Did the movie meet your expectations? If you had the chance to direct or produce the film how would you bring “Of Mice and Men” to the big screen? Have fun with this, be creative, but also inform the reader.


Due Date: FRIDAY October 28th

Welcome Back!

Can you believe a new school year has begun?!?! I can't! And now you are in high school! I know this time is exciting and nerve racking as well, but I am anxious and confident we are going to have a successful and productive school year.

 I have created this blog to serve as a form of communication from me to you, but also for you to use to post things to your classmates. I will be posting regularly and therefore some topics I will expect you to comment on for a grade, and other topics will be posted purely for your enjoyment :) So how will this work? In class or through e-mail I will tell you when to check out our blog. If I tell you a comment is necessary then you will need to post your comment and sign your first and last name at the end so I can give you credit for the assignment. If you have anything you want me to post email me at nrubinet@gmail.com. This could be almost anything. Maybe you want to remind your classmates about an event after school or maybe you just want your classmates to read something you have written and want our feedback. I will post your topic either with your name by it or anonymously. Let’s make it a great year!
