Dear Parent,
The students have been studying the Great Depression in social studies
class and we have been studying the craft of writing and have just recently
started talking about decisions screenwriters have to make to preserve the
integrity of books like Call of the Wild for
example. In class this week we will be
viewing Cinderella Man directed by
Ron Howard. This movie has been rated PG-13 for violence (it is about a boxer)
and minor language. As such, I need your
permission to allow your child to view the film in class starting Wednesday
5/2.
We will use the movie as a basis to discuss how the historical elements
that have been studied in social studies are incorporated and to discuss how
audiences are manipulated by the many and various mediums they encounter daily.
If
you agree to grant permission for your child to view this video, please sign
below and return.
Your
child is not required to view this video. An alternate assignment related
to the unit being taught will be provided if you do not grant permission for
your child to view this video.
Thank
you,
Angie
Carlisto
