What we studied/practiced:
Outside-of-Class-Activities: (Aka Homework, except fun!!!)
- Do the Further Practice Activities (on page 2 of the Cinema Paradiso dialog handout). These exercises are an excellent way to focus on words that are similar in English/Italian and special sounds in the Italian language while further practicing/studying the film dialog.
- Procure & Watch Cinema Paradiso: Ways to do this:
- Watch free online (at TVShack.net, click here). Notes: To play the movie, click directly on the red ‘play’ triangle symbol right in the middle of the movie ‘screen’ that you see (not on the small one on the bottom!). You need a high-speed internet connection, and in addition to the English subtitles, there area also Asian subtitles — but, it’s free!
- Or rent the film from an online source (E.g., Netflix or Blockbuster)
- Or purchase the film online
- Finally, I have checked with local libraries and video shops, and most do not seem to have this film title available.
Announcements:
- Make up missed classes: If you are unable to attend class in your regular location, you are more than welcome to catch the class at the other location (There are two: Carlsbad and Escondido). For addresses, see the “Contact” page.
- Last Chance!! SD Italian Film Festival is showing films nightly thru this sabato, 11/7. Curtain time: 7pm–be sure to arrive early to snag seats. Cost: $$Free, donations suggested.
