Hello Carson 4th and 5th Graders and Parents!
My name is Nathan Burt and I teach 3rd Grade HGT at Carson. This semester I will be offering an Advanced Film Club enrichment from 4:00p.m.-6:00 p.m. on Mondays after school for fourth and fifth grade students. Students do not need to have taken the first Film Club enrichment to take part in this enrichment! In this enrichment, students will extend their knowledge of genre and film studies. Students will be viewing films from six different genres and with each genre will be viewing films from early cinema (1930’s, 40’s or 50’s) and then modern-day examples of films for the same genre. The enrichment will look at comparing different elements from each film to see how genres have evolved over time and how do genre tropes help us better understand films. Below is the list of films we will be watching in our Advanced Film Club enrichment:
January 8th: - Genre: Fantasy – “The Wizard of Oz” (G) (1939)
January 15th – No School: Martin Luther King Jr. Day
January 22nd – Genre: Fantasy – “Labyrinth” (PG) (1986)

All of the films are rated G or PG and will be shown unedited for content. This means that the films may contain: adult language, violence, scary scenes/characters, and/or minor adult content. Signing below means you understand what films we will be watching in the enrichment and what content they may contain.
The cost for the 13 weeks of the enrichment will be $175/student. This will cover all materials for the group, including notebooks, pens/pencils and snacks.
There is space for 35 students.
