*NOTE ABOUT DARK PASSAGES*There are 11 questions (pink sheet) that go with the film Dark Passages.  In Blue 2, we finished viewing the film TODAY on Thursday, February 24th. .  On Monday, February 28th, Blue 2 students will hand in your film questions, which will be graded for accuracy (in other words, you need to have correct answers!).  If you are unable to complete the questions during class, you may view the film online (also includes a copy of the question).  Here are two ways to locate the film and complete the assignment:

1. Go to this link http://assignments.discoveryeducation.com/?cdPasscode=TB5C0-4C8B.  In the box that says "Assignment Code," the code is entered in for you.  Where it says "Name," enter a screen name according to your class day and birthday.  For example, a Blue 2 student born on July 1st would write:  Blue271 (July = the number 7, the 1st = the number 1).  A White 1 student born on March 3rd would write:  White133.
2. Go to http://assignments.discoveryeducation.com/.  In the box that says "CODE", input this code:  TB5C0-4C8B.  Follow the same instructions from Step 1.
