What________Loved: A Valentiny Exploration

In homage to Valentine's Day, our film students wrote lists of what characters loved.  Inspired by the Academy of American Poets' list "What Sylvia Plath Loved", I assigned my students to come up with a list of what a particular character loved.

First, check out the Sylvia Plath list:  https://www.poets.org/poetsorg/text/what-sylvia-plath-loved

Pretty cool, right?

So, students were tasked with creating a list with examples of what, say, Forrest Gump loved.

Here they are at work:
