Today is the last day to work on the project; make sure you that you do the following:

  • edit your Synopsis for:
    • punctuation errors – make sure that you do not have run-ons or fragments
    • short story terms – make sure you have a minimum of three in your synopsis
    • the theme you chose – make sure that it is evident through your synopsis and your story details
    • Title, names (proper nouns) – make sure they are all capitalized
    • CHECK spelling!

    • make sure that you have a TAG line or hook on the poster that reflects the conflict and theme you chose
    • make sure you have other movie poster items – see p. 2 of the instructions

  • Reflection and post:
    • READ page 3 and 4 of the instructions for how to write your reflection and what should be on your post (tag, title, headings etc.)
    • make sure you upload your synopsis and reflection as ‘Documents’ not links (add Document)
    • make sure you choose the correct size for the images that you upload to the post
