    FILM & SOCIETY
This class will focus on how film has affected society over the course of 100+ years. We will see how films (feature and short) and documentaries throughout history reflect the time period in which they were created, through such concepts as culture, politics, art, and economics. We will critically look at films or film clips from such titles as Birth of a Nation, City Lights, The Public Enemy, Little Caesar, Snow White, The Wizard of Oz, Forrest Gump, Life is Beautiful, Dead Poets’ Society, Good Will Hunting, Hugo, Life is Beautiful, House of Flying Daggers, Les Miserables, Cinema Paradiso, The Red Balloon, Hoop Dreams, Night and Fog, Gasland, Steamboat Willie, Paperman, and others. Social issues to be discussed include racism, censorship, prohibition, the Great Depression and poverty, family relations, and many others. Students will not only study the films, but will respond to prompts concerning social issues in their classroom journals. A short film will also be required of each student.
Not only will students analyze the societal effect of these films, but film study itself will be addressed. Students will learn about the directors behind these films, the actors who portray the roles, the regional area the films hail from, and the way the films themselves are created. We will discuss film scores, cinematography, lighting, costuming, and other aspects of filmmaking. Students will write one short paper per quarter on some aspect of film or filmmaking.

Emphasis is placed upon the higher level literacy skills such as: drawing conclusions, predicting outcomes, distinguishing fact from opinion, drawing inferences, determining author’s purpose, author’s bias, determining mood/tone, and identifying problem/solution. The course addresses academic reading and writing skills that will be applied across content areas and include an analysis of literature with the emphasis on the following: the identification of major characteristics and elements of literary genres and understanding of common literary terms, literary techniques, and recurrent motifs and themes. Reading, writing, and general academic skills specific to nonfiction will also be explicitly taught and practiced to strengthen academic skills necessary for success across content areas. These will include, and are not limited to, evaluating an author’s purpose, note-taking, and prioritizing information from a text. All strategies will be introduced and practiced with both digital and print based text. Students are expected to write in a variety of text types aligned to the expectations of the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks including argument essays, creative papers, research papers with Works Cited, on demand timed written essays as well as other formative and summative assessments. In line with the school’s focus on Project Based Learning, a variety of technology platforms will be used to conduct frequent on demand assessments, regular tasks to complete in the classroom, curriculum embedded performance assessments and a final project.

The Waltham High School Physical Education curriculum aligns with both the National Association Standards for Physical Education and Standard 2 of the Massachusetts Comprehensive Health Curriculum Frameworks. Courses are designed to develop and challenge students physically, mentally, and socially (Cognitive: knowledge, Affective: growth in feelings or emotional areas, and Psychomotor: manual or physical skills). Each course provides students with an opportunity to grow as individuals in a physically challenging environment. Students will learn and be able to develop the skills and the knowledge to achieve and maintain a health-enhancing level of physical activity and fitness. We learn best by moving. Our bodies and minds are completely interconnected and interdependent. Movement stimulates the mind to create more nerve connections, promoting more learning potential.
