Now that we have finished our Julius Caesar unit and we are a week away from our final review, the students will watch a movie that closely connects to the major texts we've read this year: Gattaca. As the students watch the movie they will have to fill out viewing questions. At the end of the week we will have a discussion on the movie and make connections to the books we've read this year. Final review will be next week!
