| Haha, well, not so much America as a whole, but a small classroom in an American university! A couple of weeks ago, I had to make a short presentation in my British Literature class (ENG 3808) on the content of my research paper. My paper was on Rupert Brooke, mostly known as one of the great war poets (WWI). He actually attended Rugby School, and his father was a Schoolmaster there. So in my presentation (and my paper), I talked a little bit about the English public school system, then I narrowed in on Rugby and Rupert's time spent there. Of course, the perfect visual for this presentation would be clips from the T. B. S. DVD, so, you guessed it! That's exactly what I did! Thank goodness for technology, otherwise, the disc would not have played in the computer. I showed about 4 clips (and NONE of them had Max in it!) that were relevant to the general and specific topics I covered (corporal punishment (in the class- room), sports, bullying/f--a--g--ging (sorry, word filter interfered), and caning (in the "caning tower"). I think the clips were enjoyed by my professor and classmates, and I even advertised it a little ("I bought this from England, it came to DVD in January.") Just thought I'd share! It's nothing, really. ;D |  |
