We are going to study Chapter 8 when you come back from the Spring break.  So to prepare you for the topic, during class, I have let you watch clips from three movies we are going to cover: House of Flying Daggers,  Heroes, Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tigers. 

Here is the link for youtube video of Daggers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8H-VIdLD_28
Netflix has Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tigers.
Then Youbube has clips of from the movie Heros, which we have watching in class before.

For those of you who are not in class today, here is assignment for your write up for this project:\
