Well, one film down and several more to go. Actually, we've accomplished a great deal during the first full week. By this point, you should have a grasp of early film history that gives you some context when viewing our first few (silent) films. One of the interesting things about this class is getting to see how film has advanced over time.
So as the post title indicates, your grades for Discussion 1a are now posted on Gradebook on blackboard along with my feedback. Be sure to read my feedback for advice on how to improve your grade in discussion.
Each week I like to recognize some of the top posts of each discussion. If you haven't read these already, be sure to check them out.

Top Original Posts:
Stephanie Fleck "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari Visual Elements"
David Lawton "Things About Other Things"
Lindsay Schardon "Set Design: Reality, Contrast, and Slants"
Lindsay Schardon "Werner Krauss as Caligari"
Top Response Posts:
Amy Rodriguez "RE: Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Film History"
Lucas Thompson "RE: Silent but Deadly"
Lindsay Scharton "RE: The Ending"
Pay particular attention to the Top Response Posts. Students typically have more difficulty writing a good response post than a good original post. Notice how the examples above (a) further develop the topic, (b) take it in another direction, and/or (c) even disagree with the original poster. The key point being that they expand upon what was originally posted with solid analysis.
