fandomhigh | Movie Appreciation: Week 8, Period 3 (Fri. 3/6)

After taking a nice nap, err, meditating for a period, Ronon was ready to focus on movies. He'd come across something very interesting during the week while he was recovering from ~~the spa~~ the cruise. That thing would be silent film.

And so Ronon stood at his podium and hit play to display a very low-class PowerPoint presentation on the large theater screen behind him. Instrumental music accompanied the presentation wherein students were shown a silent film and told to speak to each other via notecards. No oral communication would be permitted. And those who couldn't help talking would be glared at.

While students mingled for discussion, questions flashed on the screen: Q1: How do you like the music? Q2: What did you do over break?

[1. The film is embedded in the presentation, I only linked it again in case the presentation doesn't work for some reason.
2. Click 'Start Presentation' to see the slideshow!
3. NO TALKING.
4. There are plenty of notecards and markers for all.
5. Sorry to people who can't read/write, miming and gestures are encouraged.]

React to the presentation (http://docs.google.com/Present?docID=dnpnmvq_118gmk9fpcw&revision=_latest&start=0&theme=blank&cwj=true), gesture at one another, pass notes, etc.

Q1: How do you like the music? Q2: What did you do over break?
Or have some other conversation with one another using note cards and mime work.

Once he pings in!

He has prewritten cards. One says 'DETENTION' just in case anyone gets out of hand with the gesturing.

Angela Montenegro

Okay, this class was weird, but in no way the strangest Angela had, had since she'd been here.

She slouched forward, head resting on one hand and doodling on the edge of one of her pieces of paper as she watched the presentation.

Angela snagged several of those notecards, and contemplated if she could illustrate her answers, rather than write them. It would really be more interesting.

Peyton Sawyer

Romeo Montague

Dinah Lance

Peter Petrelli

Peter didn't mind the classics so he was okay with silent movies.

Emmett Cullen

John Sheppard

John appreciated the silent take on a classic. Space Battles in fast forward was enough to keep him from passing out from boredom.

Notecards in hand, John wondered if handwriting would count on these things. If so, communication might be near impossible.

Firekeeper... had no idea what it was she was supposed to be doing, since the discussion questions were just lines of meaningless shapes. The no-talking part was easy enough to figure out, though, so she was just gonna sit here for now.

She wasn't really paying all that much attention to the presentation. Really, she was more focused on ~~brooding~~ thinking about her previous class.

Claudia Kishi

Claudia grabbed a few notecards and scribbled out: "The musik was two perky."
