Movie Notes - Inside Job:
Description: Near the end of semester 1, Mr. Chin showed a movie about how the Financial Crisis of 2008 came to be. However, with every movie always come a catch and the catch this time was a 5 sentence summary for each of the 5 parts of the movie. The whole class took notes while the movie was showing and after the movie we had a few days to finish up the summaries.
Significance: What made this assignment meaningful to me was that the movie was very interesting although at times it was very confusing. Some of the concepts that Mr. Chin covered were used in the movie and I enjoy seeing real life applications of the things I learn.
Impact: I learned about the Financial Crisis of 2008 and that basically the factors that lead up to the crash.
