*Our upper level Spanish classes (that's 3rd, 4th, and 5th period) will be indulging in a bit of Spanish culture. We will be watching one of the three famous flamenco movies by Carlos Saura and Antonio Gades. The film is "Carmen" and it will be a thrilling experience. You will be required to take notes and observe how Carlos Saura evolves the plot, mixing real life with the tragic events of Prosper Merimee's 'Carmen'. This is a REAL paper. Your rough draft will be due on Monday. More details in class!
*My sweet, darling little Level 2 classes will also be indulging in a bit of Spanish culture this week. In very-early-celebration of Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), we will be watching a not-very-related-but-still-spooky movie called "Pan's Labyrinth". Lots of violence, lots of Magical Realism (what is THAT? Come to class to find out!), and lots of creepy characters giving Ofelia some trouble. Wonderful film. Wonderful assignment to follow. Show up and get ready for some intense movie-direction by Guillermo del Toro!
*I'm sorry to say that my Spanish 1 students will not be watching a film this week. Next week, guys, next week!
¡ESTUDIA, TRABAJA, Y MÁS QUE TODO, DISFRUTA LA LENGUA ESPAÑOLA!
