Movies as Literature

Jacob and I have started doing a book for his English program, entitled "Movies as Literature." I think it will be very interesting for us both. 30 classic movies which we will watch, discuss in lengthy detail, compare and contrast the characters, and ultimately, he will turn in a report he will write about the movie. The first movie was the great western, "Shane", and he turned in the second draft of is final report today.

The report was a good start on the final report and it ended with this line ---- "For more info on the film, "Shane", googal it because my hand hurts.

Not sure how a public school teacher would react, but I just circled the mis-spelled word and handed it back to him for his final typed report.
