1. Warming up: Using your notes to think about The Truman Show more deeply (2 min/each)
a. Take a look at your character descriptions. Which minor character (any character besides Truman) was the most important to Truman's heroic journey and why?
b. Take a look at your symbols/motifs. Which object carried the most symbolic weight and why? What does it symbolize to Truman? To Cristoff? How did its meaning shift a little throughout the film?
c. Reread your questions. Pick two questions that seem important to understanding the film as a whole and respond to them thoroughly.
d. Examine the connections you made to Fahrenheit 451. Which one is the most revealing/intriguing/important? Type a few sentences in which you really explore and expand upon this connection; be as specific as possible.
2. Using Team Shake to shake up your editing: Google sharing your thesis statements and getting peer feedback:
- Is it clear (well-worded and easy to understand)?
- Is it specific (mentions specific characters, symbols, titles, and problems/solutions)?
- Is it debatable (makes an argument instead of merely summarizing what happens)?
- Is it provable (can be backed up by examples from both texts)?
- Which one is the overall strongest?
