We will study the film, Easy A as an adjunct to our study of The Scarlet Letter. You may be familiar with the film, but perhaps have not actually studied it as literature-- no, I am not kidding! This great little movie takes us into a high school setting and twists the plot-- but essentially deals with the same themes: appearance versus real character, guilt over wrong deeds, revenge, etc.--oh, and they made this one a comedy! fun times. Here is the assignments we will complete as we watch the film in class: Wed., Thurs., and probably part of Friday. You should be working on the second and then final drafts of your essay on your own time-- essays are due by midnight on Friday on turnitin.com (see previous posts if you are behind on this news). Please do not wait until then to write them!
See you in class!
Mrs. Eddy
