Michael and Me: An Extra Credit Assignment

aim_05.gif

Brainstorming: What makes the world, the government, and our heads go round? Ask Michael Moore.

See Moore's new film, Capitalism: A Love Story, and see if it makes your head spin.

Requirements: Your extra credit assignment, should you choose to do it, requires you to see the film and then write a blog response in which you should consider addressing several of these bullets:

  • Praise it or critique it, or both.
  • How did it make you feel?
  • What did it make you think?
  • How does it relate to knowledge you already have?
  • Has it changed your mind about anything?
  • What arguments did he make?
  • How well did he make his arguments?
  • Do not summarize; that's why we have Internet Movie Database (IMDB).
Word Count: 500+ words

Value: 10 points.

Blog your response and email me the link to that specific response by 1 December 2009.
