PORTFOLIO

1. I hope you picked up a 3-ring binder from my office (free).  If not, please, please, please, don't hand in a binder with a plastic, soft, slick cover. It makes it impossible to pile them up.

2. FIRST PAGE. Fill out the cover sheet with dates and grades of assignments and tests/quizzes. Print it out and place in the binder.LINK

3. PRINT OUT only the assignments you got back from me with a grade. File them in chronological order, from oldest to most recent.

4. PRINT OUT the tests and quizzes with a grade. Same as above.

5. DROP OFF THE BINDER AFTER YOU GET BACK THE MAY 8 ASSIGNMENT. I will return the assignment this Sunday, so you will have the whole week to bring it to school.

6. You can drop it off EITHER in the LANGUAGE LAB (Boylan 4316) or in the office of the Mod Lang Dept (Boylan 4239). Or, if you come during office hours, bring it to my office.

DID I FORGET SOMETHING?

LET ME KNOW IF I LEFT OUT IMPORTANT INFORMATION OR IF YOU NEED ADDITIONAL DETAILS.

ANSWER:   Do you think that the note-taking assignment had value, particularly in the context of an ONLINE COURSE.

Please skip comments about how much time it takes etc. Focus on the task itself. For instance, if you were a teacher, would you use this technique?

THE GODFATHER  FINISH READING THE BOOK    (Still kKeep track of all the people who are killed.)

THE GODFATHER PART 1  SCREEN THE FILM. 

About the film: Make sure you are getting the standard cut of PART 1.

There is at least one version issued as a trilogy, with Part 1, 2, and 3. This version is edited differently, with extra scenes, and also with a different sequence of events.

What is missing in the film that you would have kept?

Which one is better, novel or film?

What did you like/dislike in either one?

Is Puzo a better writer than Coppola is a director?
