Film Festival
There is a course offered to juniors and seniors called "media seminar" where they write, storyboard, direct/star in and edit a movie. This morning we had a screening of 10 short films on topics ranging from public service announcements on sexual assault to a music video and original rap about the seniors experience the past four years. I was psyched to see one of the films that was shown was the "slang video." Some of you have seen this and for those of you who haven't I'll try my best to due justice to the hilarity that ensues in this five minute clip.
The premise is that the students needed to create a visual dictionary for a language class. The scenes cut between an all star ganstah and wanna be Robin Leech.
Ganstah: Oh geee!
Robin Leech: A highly respected individual who owns everything within a 20 mile radius.
Gangstah: Yo look at that fly honey rockin’ all that ice!
Robin Leech: Take a gander at that fine specimen of a young lady over yonder wearing all that expensive jewelry.
Gangatah: Sal-ted!
Robin Leech: To be proved wrong or insulted
The list goes on and is absolutely hilarious.
Field trips:
Ok, I’m jealous. Not just a little bit jealous but seething. My co-teacher is chaperoning a field trip for 12 kids to Fenway Park for a private tour and to meet staff to see “how the Red Sox integrate technology.”
