Tip!

To get an “A” in discussion, you need to:

• Prepare ahead of time by coming to discussion with an interpretation that includes several examples from the film to prove your point.
• Build on other people’s ideas and stay engaged in discussion by taking notes.
• Integrate unit/class content and vocabulary
• Make connections to other texts, including secondary texts, literary works we have read together or content from other units.
