Film Review: Smoke Signals

Using your notes taken while watching the film and using IMDB.com, write a film review. Refer to the handout instructions I gave you to set up your review.

A film review includes:

• an opening hook to catch the reader's attention
• a detailed description of the artists involved or responsible for the film, including any info we might need to know like the year the film was made, produced, or who the main actors are. Usually this paragraph also includes a short summary of the film's premise (this is a movie about...).
• The third paragraph discusses plot and/or characters.
• You may write a fourth paragraph about sound/special effects, camera work, cinematography or the effectiveness of the writing.
• The fourth or fifth paragraph discusses the theme or key memorable moments in the film.
• The fifth or sixth paragraph evaluates the movie and ties up your position on the quality or artistry of the film.

Please turn in your review today by the end of class. If you finish early, please continue to write fiction, poetry, scenes, etc.

HOMEWORK: None. If you did not write your review of the book The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven, please complete that and turn it in late.
