Your first homework assignment for the 2nd Marking period is to write your favorite holiday movie and tell me why you picked it. Is there a movie you love to pop in around the holidays? The Christmas Story is on TBS for 24 hours every year, Love Actually is a fun film with many different stories going on at the same time. Is there a movie that maybe reminds you of being a kid again? Let us know what movies you love, and maybe it's a movie we will love also!!

HALLOWEEN HOMEWORK- Due October 28th

Share with us your favorite scary movie of all time and tell us why you like it so much! If you do not like horror films, think of a thriller, or a movie that kept you on the edge of your seat with fear.

One of my favorite scary movies of all time is The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the original). I remember watching it as a college student, and it was the first horror film that scared me so much I could not fall asleep! The gritty quality of the film and the insanity of the main character resonated with me for weeks...It was that horrifying and disturbing, which makes it a classic horror flick in my eyes.

Add your selection to the blog...tell us your favorite horror film, and why you like it so much. These must be completed by October 28th. Happy Halloween!
