So, I gave my classes a small extra credit opportunity. For 1301's Legends research paper I show them the documentary on Waverly Hills. The guys who made the documentary also made a really bad horror film. We're literally talking about five busty coeds who are selected for a dare and have to spend five hours in the haunted sanatorium (which bares a different name for the movie, of course). I watched it, and it's pretty much how I remember, just a little more nudity, language and images because I originally saw it on Syfy.
So, of course, I wrote a disclaimer that they all have to sign.
Same thing for Wilde. The movie's based on Richard Ellman's Oscar Wilde bio., and Wilde was gay, so...you can imagine.
Isn't teaching undergraduate level community college fun?
Most of my students probably don't care. But there's always the risk of that one pain in the ass who can't just fast forward through what they don't want to see, or wait for the next extra credit opportunity.
Also, my cheat day is coming! Yay! Let's hope I don't throw everything up this time.
