Film Forum - Spellbound


Bloggingheads videos are due on Wednesday.  We'll be watching them in class.  Be sure to look here for details on how you'll be graded and what you need to do to submit your video to me.

In celebration of the conclusion of our spelling quizzes, we're going to watch Spellbound this week.  Choose any two of the following questions to answer. Post your completed answers on your blog by Friday.
  1. Choose one subject (person). Describe how winning the spelling bee is important to that subject.
  2. Do homonyms get you down?  Pick some that you commonly mix up, and come up with a creative way to remember how to tell them apart in the future.
  3. Write down five words that you did not know how to spell until seeing them in Spellbound.
  4. Do you have something in your life like the National Spelling Bee? Describe some of the pressure you feel.
  5. Should we still have spelling bees? Why? Why not?
