The mistakes I saw on my script was that I wrote too much detail on the side paragraphs, and I wrote very short conversations. They were sort of boring.

Freaks & Geeks Questions

1. Lindsay is now leaning towards the rebel side. She want to do anything to fit in and make her "friends" like her. She dosen't want to do anything that makes her look like a kid.

2. The major plots of the halloween episode had to be Lindsay in the car driving around the neighborhood and Sam trick or treating with his friends.

3. They all came together when Lindsay threw eggs at Sam, and they both ended home at the same time.

Concept 10

1. The subjects I know really well would be doing make-up and hairstyles. You can a tutorial for a short film.

2. Writing about a subject that I'm totally unfamiliar with, the resources I can use anywhere at any place would be a newspaper, magazine, dictionary, encyclopidiea, internet, television, cell phone, and of course a teacher who knows about the subject.

3. A subject that I know absolutely nothing about, would be acting. My approach in preparing the materials would be watching a few films and see how characters act throughout the film and to read a few books about acting. I would talk to students, to see what they would like to act/perform and how they would like to practice it. I would demonstrate, that this particular class is important as part of a well rounded curriculum because it can teach a lot. You have to memorize lines, and know when to control your actions. You can learn new vocabulary words from the scripts and learn how to memorize. Espacially learn new things from other professional actors.You never know, you may become the next best actor in the world.

Concept 9

Domestic
1.Avatar
2.Titanic
3.The Dark Knight

The lead character in Avatar is Jake(Sam Worthington).
The main conflict of Titanic is that Leonardo and Kate can not love each other because they are not from the same class. Her family doesn't like him because he is not wealthy.
The setting of Dark Knight is in the Gotham city streets.

Essay
To create a new story, I would have Jake, fall in love with a girl that is not from his wealthy class. His family dislikes the idea and can't really stop his decision but they try. The setting would take place in Gotham city. The girls name is Rebecca, she is the love of Jake. Jake was walking in Gotham City, and Rebecca was just getting off of work. She walks into the street, and Jake accidently bumps into her and all her papers fall on the floor and this is how their love begins. This film would appeal the audience that like "girly" movies, as in romance.

Concept 8

1.  For the plot. I would have Reese & Orlando "high school sweet hearts"when they were in school.  As time went by, they were both going to different colleges and they decided to break up. They never were reunited/saw each other again. Reese & Orlando in the future they get married but with other partners. But they both have problems with the partner(as in they fight a lot and don't get along). Reese was invited to go watch her niece cheer at a football game and Orlando was invited to see his nephew play football. So they end up at the same game and they see each other. They end up in love again. But there is problems with their love, they are still married.

3. The character would be a priest, the setting would be at a bus stop and the prop would be a skateboard.
The plot would be a priest riding on his skateboard and gets really tired because it is really hot and humid. So he comes upon a bus stop and decides to take the bus home. He was so tired he accidently fell asleep while waiting for the bus, and he missed all of the them. He woke up, looked around and it was dark. He just went back to sleep.

SAM

The bell rings and the walk opposite ways to get to their classes. Lindsay enters the classroom and sits in a seat, down in the back. Everyone is yelling and throwing papers. Lindsay sits there with  a look of annoyed. She talks to herself.

DANIEL
Alright Coool!
They go through the whole class period and once the bell rings they walk to the hallway and run through the back of the school and leave school.

Favorite Highschool TV Shows



The show "Awkward" has to my favorite show because it is really funny and very entertaining. A lot happens in a episode, and once it ends, you want to see more.







The show "Switched At Birth", also is one my favorite shows because it shows you the life of two daughters switched with different families and how def people communicate.



The "That 70's Show" is also my favorite because it is also very entertaining. It is sort of hard to explain why I like it, but if you watch it, you'll understand.
