March 26 Lesson, Finishing Unit 2, Mini Lesson: Grammar: Conjunctive Adverbs, & Animal Farm


Essential Question: What do we include in a style analysis essay?
I._____Do Now (6 minutes): You need your Springboard text for this. In creating your essays for the embedded assessment assignment you have to consider some of the similarities and differences between the three movies we have been examining. Complete the Venn diagram on page 178. You should focus on the three elements that you are focusing on in your essay.

II. ____Mini Lesson:Grammar(12 minutes): Conjunctive Adverbs

We have worked on compound sentences this year. A compound sentence joins two independent clauses. If you recall we have talked about transition words. A conjunctive adverb can be used in a number of places in a sentences, but, for today, we will practice how you use the conjunctive adverb after the semi-colon in a compound sentence

conjunctive adverb word bank
accordingly,    furthermore,    moreover,       similarly,
     also,           hence,          namely,         still,
     anyway,         however,        nevertheless,   then,
     besides,        incidentally,   next,           thereafter,
     certainly,      indeed,         nonetheless,    therefore,
     consequently,   instead,        now,            thus,
     finally,        likewise,       otherwise,      undoubtedly,
     further,        meanwhile.

Examples: 

1. Charlie Bucket’s home is in a dilapidated building with holes in the roof; similarly, Edward Scissorhands lives in a castle that is virtually in ruins.

2. Willy Wonka’s world is very different from Charlie Bucket’s; specifically, Wonka’s is filled with bright colors and Charlie’s is not.

3. The world of the living in The Corpse Bride is dark and sinister looking; however, the world of the dead is in bright colors. 

Create five statements about Tim Burton’s films in the form of compound sentences that use a conjunctive adverb. 

  • Go to your current essay draft and reconfigure two of your sentences using this form ( you can use sentences that you have just created for this assignment, if you like)! Highlight these sentences with bold type so that I can recognize them when I read the final draft of your essay). 

III. ____ Working in Pairs. Storyboarding Chapters 1-6 in Animal Farm. 

Objective
By the end of the exercise, students will be able to summarize the first six chapters of "Animal Farm".
Exercise
Students should create six storyboard pictures. Each one should represent a chapter of the novel. All of the pictures should be in order. The characters (ie: Napoleon, Boxer, Squealer, Old Major, Mr. Pilkington ...) should be labeled.

Bonus

Students will identify a quote from each chapter to go along with the pictures.
  • "Man is the only real enemy we have. Remove Man from the scene, and the root cause of hunger and overwork is abolished forever." - Major, Chapter 1.
  • "Nobody stole, nobody grumbled over his rations, the quarrelling and biting and jealousy which had been normal features of life in the old days had almost disappeared." - Chapter 3.
  • "I will work harder!" - Boxer's motto, Chapter 3.
  • "FOUR LEGS GOOD, TWO LEGS BAD." -Maxim devised by Snowball, Chapter 3.
  • "I have no wish to take life, not even human life," repeated Boxer, and his eyes were full of tears." - Chapter 4.

PREREQUISITES
You should have read the first six chapters of the novel "Animal Farm". You must also revisit your understanding of personification.



Homework. 1. Start reviewing Unit 2 in your textbook. 2. Finish your style analysis  essay by Thursday’s class. I will be after school today until 3:30. Let me know whether you will stay after for help.

March 25 Lesson


Name:_________________________________Class Period:___________________

Essential Questions: What are style devices, and what is their connection to cinematic techniques?

____I. Do Now (8 minutes): Using your notes, create in writing four statements that identify four different and specific style devices and how they are presented through specific cinematic techniques. To understand what is required for these four sentences read the following statements below and model your answers after them ( Do not copy them; come up with your own examples from the Burton films we have seen. There are other style devices and cinematic techniques that you can choose ):

Style Device: Tone---Cinematic Technique: Sound: 
In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the tone is surprisingly optimistic among the Buckets, who live in poverty. The tone of Grandpa George is sometimes pessimistic, and this is emphasized by the use of sound, or, rather, lack of sound, when all goes silent for Charlie, and the audience, when Charlie’s dad covers his ears as not to hear Grandpa George sounding off about others who cheat to get the golden ticket.

Style Device: Tone---Cinematic Technique:Music: 
In Charlie..., the lyrics to the music numbers performed by the Oompa Loopas also set the tone of character Willy’s opinion about the golden ticket winners’ greed and bad behavior; these lyrics are scolding in nature. The fact that song requires a particular syntax makes this also a  style device that works in conjunction with tone.

Style Device: Mood---Cinematic Technique Lighting:
Lighting, or lack of lighting, is used by Burton to present a bleak and depressing mood; the decrepit appearance of the Bucket’s home is heightened by the dark shadows within.

Style Device: Mood---Cinematic Technique: Color: 
Color presents the mood in Burton’s works. The bright, technicolor of Willy Wonka’s candy land contrasts with the gray and black of Charlie’s end of town and his home. 

Style Device: Diction---Cinematic Technique: Sound:
Edward is a man-child of few words; his few words emphasizes his disconnect with many of the other characters. He says little, but those that listen understand his goodness.

Style Device: Imagery---Cinematic Techniques: Color and Lighting:
The imagery of Edward’s castle home, Charlie’s home and the land of the living in The Corpse Bride is rooted in old horror movies. Burton’s use of grays and dark shadows emphasize the grotesque nature of the characters and the depressing setting.

_____II. Outlining Your Style Analysis Essay  
        The work of film director Tim Burton has become recognizable to many movie goers. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Edward Scissorhands and The Corpse Bride bare the stamp of Burton’s style which is exaggeratedly eerie and disturbing, It often has friendly monsters  and magical circumstances in addition to often grotesque characters. Tim Burton achieves a stylized mood, tone, imagery and point of view in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Edward Scissorhands and The Corpse Bride through the use of a variety of well-chosen cinematic techniques.

The bold type above identifies a thesis statement in this model introductory paragraph. In addition to a thesis statement you also have to introduce your subject matter. Look over the other sentences in this paragraph. What could you include in your introductory paragraph.

Outline: Fill this in. Read page 179-180 in Springboard
Thesis Statement: __________________________________________________

First Body Paragraph (Topic Sentence and 3 or more other sentences)
A Topic Sentence ( It is best to put this in the form of a question and then answer that question in three sentences or more. Since you are writing about three or more style devices in three Burton movies you will need at least three sentences in addition to your topic sentence. __________________________________________________

Second Body Paragraph (Topic Sentence and 3 or more other sentences):
__________________________________________________

Third Body Paragraph (Topic Sentence and 3 or more other sentences):
__________________________________________________

March 18, 2013 Lesson, Written Text versus Film, Where does Roald Dahl end and Tim Burton Begin?


Essential Question: What are some of the particulars of Tim Burton’s style, and how are these exemplified in his use of cinematic techniques?

I. _______Do Now (6 minutes): Go to page 167 in your Springboard text. Copy the statement and  complete it. This is further practice of writing topic sentences and what is to follow it in a body paragraph. Draw from the movie Edward Scissorhands for the content of these topic sentences.  

II. ______(10 minutes---Read)In-class Compare and Contrast:

     One of the things that has been revealed in the first round of written drafts for our style analysis of Tim Burton’s work is some confusion about what exactly is Burton's work and what comes directly out of the original children’s novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. Burton is actually very true to the original story in his film adaptation, but it is his use of camera shots, angles and movement, costume, sound/music choices, color, editing and lighting that are Burton’s own. It is this that make up the style of Tim Burton. It is his particular use of cinematic techniques that constitute his style. 
      For those who are Burton fans, you might know that the movies: Beetle Juice, The Corpse Bride, Edward Scissorhands, The Big Fish, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory , among others, share something in common. These movies have a typically Burtonesque look and feeling to them which is often characterized as eerie, creepy and having a quality that is much like the old horror movies starring Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney, Jr. (and Sr. too), Vincent Price and Bela Lugosi, among others. Burton uses references, or the actual iconic stars of these classic movies in his own when possible ( we have mentioned the fact that Burton's film Ed Wood includes a sub-story about Bela Lugosi's last film which Wood directed; Martin Landau plays Lugosi in the Burton's film. Vincent Price appears in Edward Scissorhands. Christopher Lee, who played Dracula or other monsters in countless 1960s "B" movies is in Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. These are just a few instances of tapping into horror nostalgia) To put it into simple terms Burton is a lover of vintage, horror movies drawing from them for the purpose of his own movies.
      It is his choice of sounds and music that identify the Burton style in the two movies we have seen recently. It is his use of particular camera shots in order to emphasize that is part of his distinguishable style. It is his use of light, or lack there of, in individual scenes that have become, like all directors, his bag of tricks. It is how characters look and act that is also one of the things that Tim Burton is attentive to.
      The following are two chapters from Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Listen as it is read and visualize it. We will then see the equivalent scene in Burton’s movie. Foremost, consider how the two are different? What does Burton do with the story, and how does he present it? 

Read the following from Roald Dahl’s novel Chapter 26 & 27) . Then we will look at theTim Burton’s cinematic dramatization of it.  

III. _____Chapter 26/ The Television-Chocolate Room

       The Teavee Family, together with Charlie and Grandpa Joe, stepped out of the elevator into a room so dazzlingly bright and dazzlingly white that they screwed up their eyes in pain and stopped walking. Mr. Wonka handed each of them a pair of dark glasses and said, “Put these on quick! And don’t take them off in here whatever you do! This light could blind you!” 
      As soon as Charlie had his dark glasses on, he was able to look around him in comfort. He saw a long narrow room. The room was painted white all over. Even the floor was white, and there wasn’t a speck of dust anywhere. From the ceiling, huge lamps hung down and bathed the room in a brilliant blue-white light. The room was completely bare except at the far ends. At one of these ends there was an enormous camera on wheels, and a whole army of Oompa-Loompas was clustering around it, oiling its joints and adjusting its knobs and polishing its great glass lens. The Oompa-Loompas were all dressed in the most extraordinary way. They were wearing bright-red space suits, complete with helmets and goggles---at least they looked like space suits---and they were working in complete silence. Watching them, Charlie experienced a queer sense of danger. There was something dangerous about this whole business, and the Oompa-Loompas knew it. There was no chattering or singing among them here, and they moved about over the huge black camera slowly and carefully in their scarlet space suits.
       At the other end of the room, about fifty paces away from the camera, a single Oompa-Loompa (also wearing a space suit) was sitting at a black table gazing at the screen of a very large television set. 
      “Here we go!” cried Mr. Wonka, hopping up and down with excitement. “This is the Testing Room for my very latest and greatest invention---Television Chocolate!”
      “But what is Television Chocolate?” asked Mike Teavee.
      “Good heavens, child, stop interrupting me!” said Mr. Wonka. “It works by television. I don’t like television myself. I suppose it’s all right in small doses, but children never seem to be able to take it in small doses. They want to sit there all day long staring and staring at the screen...”.
      “That’s me” said Mike Teavee.
      “Shut up!” said Mr. Teavee.
      “Thank you,” said Mr. Wonka. “I shall now tell you how this amazing television set of mine works. But first of all, do you know how ordinary television works? It is very simple. At one end, where the picture is being taken, you have a large movie camera and you start photographing something. The photographs are then split up into millions of tiny little pieces which are so small that you can’t see them, and these little pieces are shot out into the sky by electricity. In the sky, they go whizzing around all over the place until suddenly they hit the antenna on the roof of somebody’s house. They then go flashing down the wire that leads right into the back of the television set, and in there  they get jiggled and joggled around until at last every single one of those millions of tiny pieces is fitted back into its right place (just like a jigsaw puzzle) and presto!---the photograph appears on the screen....” 
      “That isn’t exactly how it works,” Mike Teavee said. 
      “I am a little deaf in my left ear,” Mr. Wonka said. “You must forgive me if I don’t hear anything you say.” 
      “I said, that isn’t exactly how it works!” shouted Mike Teavee.
      “ You’re a nice boy,” Mr. Wonka said, “but you talk too much. Now then! The very first time I saw ordinary television working. I was struck by a tremendous idea. ‘Look here!’ I shouted, ‘If these people can break up a photograph into millions of pieces and send the pieces whizzing through the air and then put them together again at the other end, why can’t I send a real bar of chocolate whizzing through the air in tiny pieces and then put the pieces together at the other end, all ready to be eaten?”
      “Impossible!” said Mike Teavee.
      “ You think so?” cried Mr. Wonka. “Well, watch this! I shall now send a bar of my very best chocolate from one end of this room to other---by television! Get ready, there! Bring in the chocolate!
      Immediately, six Oompa-Loompas marched forward carrying on their shoulders the most enormous bar of chocolate Charlie had ever seen. It was about the size of the mattress he slept on at home.
      “It has to be big,” Mr. Wonka explained, “because whenever you send something by television, it always comes out much smaller than it was when it went in . Even with ordinary television, when you photograph a big man, he never comes out on your screen any taller than a pencil, does he? Here we go then! Get ready! No, no! Stop! Hold everything! You there! Mike Teavee! Stand Back! You’re too close to the camera! There are dangerous rays coming out of that thing! They could break you up into [a] million tiny pieces in one second! That’s why the Oompa-Loompas are wearing space suits! The suits protect them! All right! That’s better! Now, then! Switch on!”
        One of the Oompa-Loompas caught hold of a large switch and pulled it down. 
       There was a blinding flash.
       “The chocolate’s gone! shouted Grandpa Joe, waving his arms.
       He was quite right! The whole enormous bar of chocolate had disappeared completely into thin air!
       “It’s on its way!” cried Mr. Wonka. “It is now rushing through the air above our heads in a million tiny pieces. Quick! Come over here!” He dashed over to the other end of the room where the large television set was standing, and the others followed him. “Watch the screen!” he cried. “Here it comes! Look!”
      The screen flickered and lit up. Then suddenly, a small bar of chocolate appeared in the middle of the screen.
      “Take it!” shouted Mr. Wonka, growing more and more excited.
      “How can you take it?” asked Mike Teavee, laughing.
      “It’s just a picture on a television screen!”
      “Charlie Bucket!” cried Mr. Wonka. “You take it! Reach out and grab it!”
      Charlie put out his hand and touched the screen, and suddenly, miraculously, the bar of chocolate came away in his fingers. He was so surprised he nearly dropped it.
      “Eat it!” shouted Mr. Wonka. “Go on and eat it!” It’ll be delicious! It’s the same bar! It’s gotten smaller on the journey, that’s all!”
      “It’s absolutely fantastic!” gasped Grandpa Joe. “It’s ...it’s...it’s a miracle!”
      “Just imagine,” cried Mr. Wonka, “when I start using this across the country...you’ll be sitting at home watching television and suddenly a commercial will flash onto the screen and a voice will say, ‘EAT WONKA’S CHOCOLATES! THEY’RE THE BEST IN THE WORLD! IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE US, TRY ONE FOR YOURSELF---NOW!‘ And you simply reach out and take one! How about that , eh?” 
      “Terrific!” Cried Grandpa Joe. “It will change the world!”
         
IV. Watch the scene in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (12 minutes). Identify some of the particulars of the film that you deem to be Burton’s own unique treatment of the subject. Focus solely on the use of the following cinematic techniques. Identify briefly one specific example of each.

Framing/angles:
Lighting:
Camera Movement:
Music/Sound
Editing:

(15 minutes)Think-Pair-Share: Consider what you have learned from experiencing the Dahl written text and the Burton film text side-by-side. Make a written statement below your do-now about one of the cinematic techniques you have characterized above and what you now understand about Burton’s style. Explain in writing the specifics of that cinematic technique. 

For example: 
       Although Roald Dahl does mention the specifics of lighting in this scene where a chocolate bar is transported by television, Burton approaches lighting true to his style. The space where this scene takes place is completely white unlike Dahl’s to include a white camera and white furniture and the equipment necessary for TV transport. Only the knobs of the Chocolate Television machine are red. Red is used earlier in the movie to contrast the world of Wonka from the city that Charlie Bucket lives in. The brightness of the room can be equated with being space age, fantastical, like everything in Wonka's world. 
       Dahl has the Oompa-Loompa’s wearing red space suits, but Burton chooses them to coordinate with the white identity of this particular room and Wonka machine with white jump suits. The space theme of this particular scene is further heightened with allusions to cinema history’s 2001: Space Odyssey. Das Spake Zarathustra, the theme song to Odyssey is played when the powers of Chocolate Television are revealed. 
       When the machine is finally switched on a ray of light, like a laser, transports a larger-than-life chocolate bar from point A to point B. The chocolate bar then appears in the midst of dancing chimpanzees on the television screen, and this is taken directly from Odyssey. The bar is likened to the extraterrestrial “anomaly” in the Stanley Kubrick's film that supposedly brings intelligence to the early primates. So too, Wonka's Chocolate Television, brings evidence that miracles are abundant in the Wonka factory.
