Film Study – Crash

Humanity and Empathy in the 21^st Century

Group Project

Your Task:

The movie Crash is a film study in the connections that we as human beings have to one another, and the consequences of our actions.  Consider the 29 discussion questions that were handed out.  Choose 5 and answer each in an extended response. Your final responses should be typed and the names of the individuals in your group should be on the paper.  You are required to turn in only one copy per group and receive a grade as a group. Each of the 5 responses is worth 20 points each.  One sentence answers will not suffice.

In addition to your written paper, be prepared to discuss your responses with the class in a roundtable discussion.  Each member of the group should keep their own copy of the responses for use in class discussion.

You will be working on this in class on Friday.  We will discuss the film on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Final, typed responses are due on Wednesday.
