Bus Safety tour today!

But first..... Let's listen to those announcements....

When you come in, grab your spiral notebook and write down 3 reasons WHY you believe Charlie Chaplin is still so famous today. 

But remember:
       "He's funny" is not enough of a reason. 
You can say "He's funny because...." and give a convincing reason - evidence!!!

Plan for today:
1. Metropolis 
2. Finish "The Kid"




Metropolis:

1927
German
First science fiction movie - Dystopian society

Utopian City above a bleak "underworld" filled with mistreated workers who serve the Utopian citizens.     Sound familiar?????


Influenced Nineteen Eight-four by George Orwell and what else....

Here's a hint....

Metropolis beginning:

The worker children see their rulers 

The underworld

The workers revolt!
