Tuesday, February 8

Students watched 45 minutes of Grizzly Man. Students were instructed as follows:

Grizzly Man offers different points of view on the central figure, Timothy Treadwell: that of Treadwell himself, that of the director and narrator Werner Herzog, and those of several other people who are interviewed. Please take notes which will help you to summarize what those different viewpoints are. Turn in your notes to the tray before you leave.
