Class notes for May 31

Today I collected your questions about Children of Japan.

We did a new listening exercise (dated May 27) from the VOA about privacy issues of Facebook and Google. If you would like to review the article, it is here.

I had a plan to compare the Children of Japan with other films about Japan made during wartime, between 1942 and 1946, as attitudes toward Japan and Japanese-Americans went through many changes, mostly negative. However, I think that is a little depressing for you. I've decided it will be better for you to search through the Prelinger Archive for yourself and see what you can find. There are films about defending yourself from atomic attack, Felix the Cat animations from the 1920s, Betty Boop, cigarettes, commercials through the decades, police training films, bicycle safety films, instructional films about communism, dating, and manners, and so on. There are even horror films in the public domain. Some of them are long. Look around! Find something interesting. Browse the tag cloud!
