Dear Abby

Write a Dear Abby letter from one of the following perspectives (student, teacher, administrator, parent, friend). This scenario should deal with problems or issues that an adolescent might face today or any topic we have covered in this course. Post the letter on the blog by 1/27.  You will then answer someone else's letter from a different perspective.  You can just post the scenario in a comment below.

Film Review

Watch a film which focuses on or is geared towards young adolescents.  Once you watch the film, write a short (2 - 4 page) review. You can post a link to a Google Doc in the comment box (be sure to change the Share settings so to "Anyone with the link can view") since your work will probably exceed the character limit for a comment.

• Describe the film in general terms. This should be a summary.
• What issues does it raise? What do you see as the main purpose of the film?
• Relate the film to class discussions, readings, notes or knowledge. (Include Citations)  
• Is the film historically (or factually) accurate and realistic? Does it contradict or support anything you have learned?
• Would a young person be interested in this film?
• How did watching this film make you a better middle school educator?
• Do you recommend this film?
• If possible attach a trailer for the film.
