westerns general topic

This is the fifth of our weekly “general topic” Discusisons. You should write posts connecting the films you watched to the subject under consideration. While you do not need to answer a specific prompt, this is an outlet for discussion about the weekly topics, and an opportunity to share ideas about work you are doing each week.

Below you will find a list of additional Westerns you may choose from in deciding which (at least) two films you will screen for Week Five. If there are ever any films that fall into the weekly subject categories that you would like to view but are not listed in the Syllabus, just contact me in advance and I most likely will approve the substitutions.

Also remember to write me at any time with questions or comments that will help you with your progress in the class, as many of you have already been doing.
