Today in class, you started watching the film of Mice and Men.

We will finish it tomorrow in class.  While watching the film, you should continue working on the handout that was distributed to you in class.  You will turn this in as soon as the film ends.
 

You should begin to prepare a film review. Remember to focus on 1 thing (1 character, 1 relationship, or 1 theme).  Use the notes you wrote down in class today to help you.  Remember to be critical and analyze/evaluate what the director (Gary Sinise) chose to do/ what adaptations did he make.  Why do you think he made the changes? What effect do these changes have? This should be no less than 1 page typed and printed. 

You should read these film reviews to get a better sense of film criticisms here:
