You and your classmates will choose a movie to watch at the end of the year by researching films, preparing presentations on them, and evaluating each other's presentations. To convince your classmates of your chosen film, you'll collect information from online sources to include in a handout and oral presentation. The presentation should provide a plot summary, details on the director and actors, when and where it was filmed, reviews, and why it should be the selected film. Your classmates will do the same for their chosen films, and you'll complete an evaluation chart during their presentations to determine the winning film.
