1. Write a question that you think
would produce an interesting discussion about Apocalypse Now.
You might want to think about Conrad's Heart of Darkness,
Eliot's The Hollow Men, imperialism, colonialism, the "white
man's burden," and wars of national liberation in framing
your question. Or you might want to consider how war "changed"
when we got to see it in our living rooms. Or you might want to
ask about some aspect of the movie that confused or deeply moved
you or interested you. (5 minutes).
2. Write a
brief explanation of the reason you think your question should
produce a good discussion. (3 minutes)
3. Introduce
yourself to the students in your group and share your questions
and explanations with the rest of the group. Spend a bit
of time talking with each other about each of the questions to
see where they lead you. (15 minutes)

you would like the instructor to discuss and the names of the
rest of your group written in the spaces provided.
