Tip of the week

Write your comments w/ Word/notepad/anything, and save it. Then copy & paste it here (and check the spacing), so that you wouldn't have to rewrite it again, if and when Google messes up.

And if you have problems in creating your account here, I could try to help. I'm not sure why the problems are occurring, but I think I might get some CAS minutes at least out of it. :)

This time each of us is going to pick the song they liked the most on Friday, and write something about it here.

Info for all interested receiving CAS from this club & other stuff

At the end of the week, I'm going to give the address of this site to our CAS supervisor. I do not know when she is going to check this site and your reviews, but if I were you, I'd hurry up and write something. Remember to post with your real name, and to add yourself to the reader's of this site. No initials allowed for the sake of the supervisor.

The next time that our club gathers is the 23th of October, in class 206. If any changes are made, I'll inform you via this site, so remember to check from time to time, if something new has come up.

EDIT: Read my latest answer in movie/media suggestions!

Movie/media suggestions

If you have some media you'd like to review here, feel free to leave a comment of it in the comment box.

A brief overview

In order to collect CAS hours for our IB program, we are planning on founding a popular media critisism club, in which we, and maybe other members of our club, will review music, movies and so on. We have already found a place and a time for our club, and all we need to do to start our activities is getting the allowance of our principal, and to inform the janitor of our club.

We plan on gathering once in a week or two in one of our classes, and viewing a movie (or other media) there, writing a review of it afterwards in our blog. We are writing reviews or other stuff here weekly, or at least bi-weekly.

If our club gets other members too, they are required to write at least a short review, either on the site or in the comment boxes.
