In the summer heat of a Mississippi cotton plantation, Big Daddy's family gathers to celebrate his 65th birthday. This course is a combination book and movie course. Students will read the original play and watch the 1958 movie. Students discuss setting, plot, theme, character development as well as critiquing the movie production. This course focuses on current events.
Discussions take place through email.
Each week students are expected to read two news articles on the internet, write an answer to a discussion question provided by the teacher and read and respond to another student's writing from the previous week. This course is good for students who are interested in reading and writing and for students who have trouble coming to KETC each week but still want to improve their English. Return to schedule.
