Ghosts Project / JC Act II

College Prep 12

• Hand our project guidelines for Ghosts.
• Collect permission slips. (If you lost yours, copy-paste-print permission slip below).
• Reminder: Chapters 20-23 due on Monday.
• Movie starts tuesday.
• Permission slip:

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Our school requires parental permission for your student to view movies that are used in our curriculum, or that are selected by our teachers R.

We believe showing your son or daughter full-length movies such as Platoon enables them to benefit from another medium as a resource in their study of current events and history.

The students do not just watch the film. They must take notes and write an essay connecting the themes and contexts with a current unit, in this case Ghosts of War by Ryan Smithson.

Thank you for taking the time to read and sign this permission form.

Sincerely,
