films watching

This topic allows the student to become the Master for once. It’s your chance to decide what should be on the syllabus. Between now and the due date, your assignment is to watch TWO comedy films with similar thematic elements on your own, or with friends and family… or a pet you’re really close with. Once you watch them, imagine you’re responsible for leading a discussion about them. What would you impart to your students about humor, film, and any specific issues that these films represent? Basically, pretend you’re me, only a lot skinnier. It is important that you actually watch the movies you discuss, because ideally, this class will have changed the way you think about movies you’ve seen 20 times. You’re getting college credit to watch funny movies: appreciate that, don’t take it for granted.
