Popcorn Chalkboard: November 2011
http://caitlinbradac.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
A way to see movies in a classroom setting! Tuesday, November 29, 2011. My History of Movies in the Classroom. As a child I was not a very good reader and I did not do very well in school. My teachers moved me into a group where I had to do extra reading and writing classes just so I could keep up with my regular class. This continued for a long time until I was able to read a book in class and then watch the film afterwards. I read Little House on the Prairie. It wasn't until my Freshman year in High Sc...

Popcorn Chalkboard: September 2011
http://caitlinbradac.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
A way to see movies in a classroom setting! Tuesday, September 27, 2011. Can Art Be A Movie? There are many classes that talk about the history of Art and the history behind the brush strokes. I personally love Art and its history and there are plenty of movies that show Art and its creation. For Example, in Titanic. Leonardo DiCaprio's character is an artist but they also discuss many paintings by Van Gogh. The next movie that I think really does a great job talking about art is Mona Lisa Smile. This te...

Popcorn Chalkboard: October 2011
http://caitlinbradac.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
A way to see movies in a classroom setting! Sunday, October 23, 2011. Books and Movies go Hand in Hand. In 9th grade my teacher made us read Great Expectations. By Charles Dickens. I do not like this book whatsoever but the one thing that got me through this book was the film of the same name made in (1946). I thought the story was very complex and thick but the movie helped me get through the density of the novel. In the 10th grade my class read Julius Caesar. In the 11th grade my class read East of Eden.

Dietary Concerns: Food For Thought
http://dietaryconcerns.blogspot.com/2011/11/food-for-thought.html
Thoughts on adopting a healthy plant-based diet. Thursday, November 24, 2011. Today is Thanksgiving, and before we start giving thanks for our deep-fried turkeys. And $200 flat-screens, we should all take a moment to consider the issue of food insecurity in this country. In a previous post. While Jamison barks orders at a group of Harvard kids who are volunteering that day, Lawson stands quietly by a waiting truck at the opening of the warehouse. You’d easily mistake the warehouse for a junkyar...Jamison...

A Rainbow in a World of Clouds. Saturday, November 19, 2011. Unanswered Questions of a Wounded Lesbian . I’ve always been asked several questions about my sexuality. Questions like “Rina. why are you a lesbian? Or “Rina, why’d you date women and suddenly choose to date men? 8221; You can pretty much say that my life revolved around questions.
