DVD: We watched the feature film "Radio Days" produced by Woody Allen. It's the story of a family on Long Island, NY during the 1940s and how their lives intersect with the main medium in their lives: radio. Notice the parallels between the types of shows they listened to and shows on TV now. A few things in the movie are based on true stories, like the fictitious "War of the Worlds" broadcast about an alien invasion and the story of the girl i the well. Students discussed what life would be like if radio were the last invention (no TV, no Internet). Weird.
TAKE-HOME QUIZ: Crossword puzzle and/or essay question. You can do either the puzzle or the essay for normal quiz points (up to 20) or BOTH puzzle AND essay for up to 40 points. These are bonus points, not part of the Extra Credit total for the course.
