Freewriting Activities
Write your answers as fast as you can.
Freewrite #1 -- Write a blog about the movie that you watched that related to Halloween or the Apocalypse theme. Summarize the movie and give your response. Include pictures.
Remember write as fast as you can. You will have ten minutes for each of these.

Freewrite #4 -- Watch the clip of Deckard and Roy. Describe in detail how dialogue, sound, and music all work together to make the audience feel something. What do we feel? What does Roy's audience, Deckard, feel? Could Deckard be crying?
Freewrite #5 -- What is the future for Rick Deckard now that the replicants and Tyrell are dead? Be creative!
Thinking about Argument Proposals
Freewrite #6 -- Write about how your research for your argument is going so far. What is your research question? What information have you found so far? What are the two possible solutions that you have found for your question? Which solution seems best so far? Why?
Sign the Sign-up sheet for peer review.
The rest of the class, work on citing and annotating your bibliography entries.
