Welcome!
This is the blog of The Renaissance Charter School's senior elective class, "Delving Into Documentaries." This blog was put together in the spring semester. In the fall semester, we watched Food, Inc.; Forks Over Knives; GasLand; and An Inconvenient Truth. Students wrote reflection papers, journal entries, and essays. Instead of these assignments, this semester, students will write on this blog. After each film, they will post a review/critique. Each week, they will post a response to a controversial question related to the film we are currently studying. Visit our Wiki to learn more!

Review #4: Hoop Dreams
Hoop Dreams was a great and interesting film because it showed the life of two teenagers: Arthur and WIlliam. They both had difficult struggles in school because of their low grades. Both of them payed too much attention to basketball which was their dream. They wanted a future in basketball because they always loved playing it. Arthur and William both wanted to get into the NBA and stopped at no cost to get what they wanted. Both of them managed to get good grades and graduate from high school and go to college. I recommend this film because it's something teenagers can relate to and find interesting.
