1. Read Reel Values. (Notify me by e-mail when you have completed its reading.)

2. See the films as described below. At least once a week notify me where and when you saw the specified film and include a paragraph that uses the terms and concepts of "Reel Values" to explain a central conflict within that movie. It is usually very helpful to include at least two quotations from the text and then to explain why those citations are helpful to your understanding of the film.

Films:
1. For the Spranger chapter see either "Breaking Away" or "A River Runs Through It". Connect the key characters to respective value oreintations.
2. For the Rokeach chapter see "Tender Mercies" and consider whether the movie is primarily a religious movie.
3. For the Maslow chapter see "Midnight Cowboy" and discuss the Hoffman and Voigt characters in terms of Maslow's needs.
4. For the Kohlberg chapter see "A Man for All Seasons" and consider More's level of moral reasoning.
5. For the Erikson chapter see "35 Up" and look for evidence of how unresolved stages show up in later life.
6. For the Chickering chapter and Gose remarks see "Casablanca" and try to answer why Bogart makes the choice he makes at the end.
7. - 8. See any three of the films identified in "Reel Values" and write your own values critique, making reference to the comments in that text.
10. See a new film in a theatre and write your own values critique.
11. Pick any film and write a paper with a thorough review of the values in that film (please use details from the movie to support your points).

    IF the film review for question #11 above is less than five pages, or if you want to consider the question anyway, please respond to the "Expressive Outcomes" assignment from the last paragraph of the description of Option A.
