Being stuck in the house can get a little boring, but it gives you the opportunity to dive into films! I have created a list of movies with special assignments tagged to them. For your online assignment, I would like you to choose from one of the movies in the list and complete the activity that goes with it. If you have finished one you are welcome to do more. If you need help, or have questions. Feel free to email me [email protected]
