Welcome to Issues in Narrative and Documentary Film/Modern Film with Mr. Polish! Our class will meet every Friday from 9:15 – 11:15 am and your attendance there is required. Because we only meet one day a week, it is important that you maintain communication with me by e-mail if you are having any issues with me, school, or the work. My e-mail is bpolish@champscharter.org and I check it every day so expect me to get back to you no more than 24 hours after you have messaged me.

Your proposal must come in the form of a powerpoint or poster that you will present to class on the last day. It must include the following things:
You will be graded on the depth and complexity of your proposal as well as how well you engage the class.
