Teacher Dude: Ominous Setting!
http://teacherdude43.blogspot.com/2010/01/ominous-setting.html
Monday, January 11, 2010. One key element to a really amazing horror film is to develop suspense through the use of setting. Turning an ordinary, every day environment into a terrifying world takes time and shouldn't be rushed. Instead, we build the sense of terror by slowly turning the ordinary into something extraordinary and thus terrifying! Watch these scenes from horror films like The Shining to see if you can tell how the directors used setting to develop suspense. Career Paths and College Majors.

http://teacherdude43.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 23, 2009. Research and Feature Articles. Unfortunately, we can't spend a ton of time in-class researching. This means that you will have to research at home, in the media-center (open to Journalism Students during 6th period lunch on Friday) and at the library. The best and most thorough search engine though, is EBSCO. Go to this site-. Http:/ search.ebscohost.com/ and type in jp145 in both the username and password to begin searching.
