Attention: This site is no longer active and will not be used for NTI 2.0. A new platform is being built and will be shared soon.
Each week, I will update this site with Lesson Plans for each class in a Google Doc with format "Film_Studies_NTI_#." I will also include a brief overview of the lessons. All work is accessible and will be turned in on Google Classroom, with links to each period's classroom above.
If you have any questions regarding content, attendance, or grades in the course, please reach out to me. I can answer questions directly on assignments through private comments, or I am available at the following methods:
