Since our class video is missing, I have watched Esther's video instead. I thought it was interesting that they chose a student to play the role of teacher. However, I do remember what my role in the film was. I was basically an extra; I was student acting rudely towards the teacher. I had no lines but I improvised what a bad student would do by texting, not doing work and talking to others during class. Our message shares the same message as Esther's film. It was basically that in a classroom, the students really have the power because we out number the teacher. We respect the teachers because that is what we have been raised to do, we are programmed to respect teachers since we are in preschool. But as we get older, we take advantage of weak teachers and over power them. In our film, we just kept disobeying the quite, unassertive teacher who was trying to make us open up to him. We continued to be rowdy until he gave up and left the class. In Esther's film, the teacher seems to be a struggling alcoholic. He gets distracted by drinking and texting while grading tests and just falls asleep. The next day, he can't control the class no mater how hard he tries so the next day he gives up and sleeps while the students continue to lose control. He then is sick of it and tells the students about themselves and also leave (or at least that’s what I think happened again the sound was off) 

a. your personal contribution

b. your analysis of the message and tone of your section's film

c. contrast the film with the savior/teacher films we watched clips of

d. theorize (explore thoughtfully and powerfully) the connection between salvation and education/schooling in our culture
