For Friday, January 20th: An Experiment in Eco-Thwack


Instead of making this week writing laden, we're going to do a little experiment in class on Friday. Inspired by Mystery Science Theater 3000 and the Rifftrax phenomenon on Youtube, I want you to meet with your video project groups before Friday to prepare an Eco-Thwack on a clip of approximately 4 minutes from The Day After Tomorrow. The entire film is available in sections on Youtube, so together select a particularly juicy 4-minute bit that calls for commentary and come prepared to read out your thwack as we play the clip.

To get you thinking, here's Rifftrax's treatment of a library scene.

Let me know if you have questions.
