While service learning with Rivas on my new topic Horror Film History, we covered the following:

-the history of horror as a genre, including literature, plays, and the first films.

-we watched the original horror films (as featured in my creative expression) and helped me to understand that no modern horror films are original and they can each be traced back to a different horror film from its original form.

-He taught me about different horror directors from Eurpose and Germany and how their films are different than American films.

-he helped me write my iSearch by sitting next to me as I was typing and helped to make sure my wording was correct and that I was making the right connections.

Interpretive
The most important thing I gained from this experience was that I learned what the connection was between modern horror films and that of those in the early 1900s when the films first originated. The reason this is important for me to know is because it helped me answer my essential question.

Applied

This helped me answer my essential question because I got to analyze what in horror film history, as in what exactly it was, that made the influence on modern horror. Through this experience, I was able to find the answer to that question.
