I can't wait to see how creative these turned out!

Use this viewing guide to answer questions while you are watching the film version of The Call of the Wild. Be careful and do not assume that all answers will be the same as they would in the book. All answers should be according to the film. This will not be graded only for completion, but by the accuracy of the answers. All areas have light grey text boxes and are easily editable. Please make sure that you ONLY open this up in Google Docs and NOT a PDF editor.

Please read over the One Pager PDF document before class today. These are the instructions for your The Call of the Wild final project. I will THOROUGHLY go over the instructions as well as give you examples of what this project can look like when done. The brainstorm document is due by beginning of class tomorrow. The final one pager will be due at a different date. You will use this brainstorm for me to approve your project and make sure that you are on track for success. Click the Google Slides (make sure it opens in slides), and click in the areas for the textboxes to start typing. Draw a line or circle using the line or circle tool on the first page to show what connect four line you are doing.

IMPORTANT: If you have questions about this before our class today, write them down so you don't forget. Do not email me or comment here about them. Wait for class.
