Though I have never offered extra credit before, I am going to offer a few opportunities to earn a few extra points. There will be a written component, and you will need to be able to post to the blog to earn the points. You may specify whether you would like the points to be added to your exam grade or participation assignment grade.
--attend the film panel of the ECU Humorfest on Nov. 1 from 1-3. You will need to write a clear summary of each panel presentation and post it to the blog within 1 week (0-8 available points).
--attend a viewing of the Russian-German Collaborative Film Series, the Hispanic Film Series, the Medieval and Renaissance Studies Film Series, or the "Breakdowns and Breakthroughs" Honors Film Series. You will need to analyze the mise-en-scene of a specific scene and describe how it creates meaning within the film or choose a dominant theme within the film and describe in detail how it operates in the film. Each analysis will be due within one week of the screening (0-5 available points).
--attend the theater performance of Catch-22 (cost: $10) and compare its depiction of war to Dr. Strangelove. The analysis will be due one week after the performance (0-10 available points).

May we see any film of the Breakdowns and Breakthroughs, or was there a specific one?
