Book CoverDuring the next few weeks our class will be doing a unit of study on Black History and the Civil Rights Movement. As part of our study we will be reading the book Nightjohn by Gary Paulsen, one of our favorite authors. I will be showing the class the movie Nightjohn based on the book of the same title. I have shown this outstanding Disney/Hallmark television movie to my class for many years, but it was brought to my attention recently that the movie is rated PG-13 for some scenes of racial oppression and abuse.
School board policy requires written parent permission for your child to view this film during class. Permission slips were sent home with students on Friday. Please return the signed permission slip by Monday, February 25. Students who do not return the permission slip will be given an alternative assignment. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call me at 757-9400 ex. 306 or email me at roland.blount@sdhc.k12.fl.us.

Hey Mr. Blount
After we read the book Night John I cant wait until we see the movie.
The book showed me some things that i had no idea of that happened in the slavery time such as the them cutting of toes. Also by the way the book was really short.
Mr.Blount the movie about night john was realy cool.But very different from the movie i could right away tell the diffrences.The book and the movie were both really good.
