V for Vendetta Day 3

TASK 1: Social Media Presentation

We will be looking at the rubric and what is expected of you in regards to the Social Media Presentation.

Take about 10-15 minutes to make any changes or discuss any changes that need to be made to your presentation.

TASK 2: What was going on in the 2000's?

While V for Vendetta by Alan Moore was a direct commentary on the Thatcher administration, McTeigue's re-imagination of the novel is a commentary on the Bush administration in the early 2000's.

We will watch the short video about what happened in the Abu Ghraib prisons in the 2000's.
