This term, Midterm

[matt]

I will do the Soviet Montage readings: Mr. Kuleshov, and the second half of the Eisenstein reading. I could do the whole thing but I don't really want to. If no one else does want to do it, then I may get around to it, but I am not making any promises. I will post again with any changes to this plan.

[Harry]

if we all did one reading and a handout to go with it then the whole process might be easier

[rymo]

I got dibs on German Expressionism. PS, are we posting the notes somewhere or are we just meeting up on wendsday or something. I got no dukes.

[abby]

we should all meet/give each other our readings TUESDAY so we have wed to review everything and give each other help if we dont understand.
where / how should the sharing take place
