John: This is great! I love the connection to past and present. I think that using the connection aspect will help ground modern day entertainment (seeing that everything lately is a remake of something long ago). I can not wait to see this evolve. Thanks for giving me a good idea for getting my thoughts down. I should get something together tomorrow. I have to admit I was "scared" of this assignment because I just wasn't far enough along, but now I can get down a rough draft of my organizational process.
I am really inspired by your layout and great representation of our classes material.
John,
I agree with Tricia's comments about connecting the past with the present. You included material since day 1 in our class. I only question the time limit for the storytelling. I don't remember what it is, 5 or 10 minutes? I've been sitting here for the last few hours racking my brain as to the format to use for my story. You've also given me some ideas. Thanks for the input.
