Hey Ben...It's great to hear that all is well even though you have so much school work to do. I hope you have a great rest of the week!

I had a GTA do something similar to that in my EN 101 class actually. We had to evaluate the film, etc. I think that as long as you show the students the parallels of critically watching a movie/reading a book it's a great idea. Sounds like you've thought about all the angles. Good luck this semester!

I would have to agree jessicall411 September 3 2004, 08:59:08 UTC

I think the movie idea is a good idea. My only problem with "O Brother Where Art Thou?" is that it is based on The Odyssey (as you stated). Here's the problem...The Odyssey is a Greek mythological epic, not British Lit. It would be great for a World Lit. class, though. (I know that at my high school, Brit. Lit. was an AP/Honors class and World Lit. was the regular class; and I know that they did read Edith Hamilton's Mythology in World Lit.)
Otherwise, fantastic idea!
