Heather's Comments
10/2- Looks good so far. You'll need more reliable sources, if at all possible. I recommend reaching out to our librarian Rachel via Inbox in Canvas. Good luck!

10/15- Great, Carl. In looking at other documentary films like Food, Inc and 13th, I recommend adding a synopsis section or critical reception (what viewers thought) section to "All Gods Children." What do you think? If you choose synopsis, watch the film and take some good notes to write a summary. If you choose critical reception, use the Butte library to search the movie. I think you'll find some film reviews and analysis there. But Rachel can also help. Did you hear back from her?

Oh, and no, it doesn't look like most film pages include detailed information on the director. The link to the Wiki page for Rhue should be enough. Make sense?

10/25- I think I understood from the 10/25 comments you left here that you DID hear back from Rachel. Linking to Rhue's wikipedia page is easy. Go into "edit," highlight "Rhue's" name and then click on the "Link" icon at on the toolbar. Type in Rhue's full name and it should come up. Save. Adding citations is similar. Check out the link. Keep on going! :)

11/1- Perfect. Glad the LA Times article might be useful. Rotten Tomatoes could be too, if there are any reviews there. Check out the "Critical Response" portion of the Avengers Wikipedia page to see how you might style what you wrote. Yes, you are on the right track! Please finish up and post to main space.

Carl's Work Log

 * September 27, 2019-I chose the article, "All Gods Children". I read this article and I'm going to look at sources next. 4 hours
 * I found these possible sources:https://www.worldcat.org/title/all-gods-children/oclc/35568581,
 * October 2, 2019-Looked at my source, other sources and other wiki films so I can see how they are set up, printed out the training section on what should be included in a film article. 2 hours
 * October 4, 2019-looking for more sources and asked questions about adding info about the producer or not? Added to contents list, emailed librarian 1 hour
 * October 13, 2019-looking for sources still emailed librarian again to ask for help as she has answered my first email yet 1 hour
 * October 19, 2019-wrote another email to Rachel regarding needing help with sources. Watched the Film myself to understand it better. 1 hour
 * October 25, 2019-responded to Heathers notes. Watched training, added link to producers wiki page, looked at more sources, began figuring out how to do a critical reception-2hours
 * 10/25 AM I just finally heard back from Heather (or maybe Rachel?) yesterday. She's going to help me. She missed my first email somehow. I think for this film a critical reception would be best because it's so controversial (the topic). That makes sense to just link Rhue's wiki page. I'll have to go back and look at the training and see how to do that as my memory is bad. 10/25-I can't figure out how to add a cite to the information I want to add to the info box
 * 10/25 PM-Heather-can you please see if I did something right. In the info box I added cinematography Frances Reid and then added the cite source and a reference section but it doesn't look right to me I think I did something wrong.
 * 10/29-Racheal wrote me back and said there isn't really any information on that film she could only find one thing about it in LA Times and I read it but I don't see how I could use it. I'm still working on trying to make the other changes you suggested but my power is only on for today and then off again tomorrow. 2 hours
 * I re-read the LA Times article and I think I can use this for the critical reception but i'm not exactly sure how to start this out. I added the section heading and asked if this is how to start this. 1 hour
 * November 3, 2019- worked on reading, researching and critical reception, cites, work log-2.5 hours (this is very hard for me as I have memory impairments).
 * HEATHER PLEASE HELP-I tried moving edits from sandbox the main page and it doesn't look the same. It doesn't have "edit" on the main page, only "edit source" and it doesn't format right. I'm going nuts here and I'm extremely frustrated and hope I didn't mess up anything on the main page. I've re-read the instructions in training to copy and paste from sandbox and it's not working for me. Now my PC is freezing up and so i'm asking for help and taking a walk. Thank you

Things I May Edit

 * I notice there is no cast listed
 * When does the film take place?
 * what formats they film was available in?
 * ratings?
 * subject areas of the film?
 * add soundtrack
 * add contents section
 * Sylvia Rhue add info about Sylvia Rhue from her wiki page? YES OR NO?

Critical Reception
L.A. Times author Linell George states in his article "Breaking the Barriers That Keep Them From Church" that the goal of this film is to educate people about the troubles which Gay and Lesbian believers face when trying to find and be accepted into a Church. The Gay/Lesbian community is afraid to leave the security of the familiar. "What feeds this silence is the fear of loosing ones safety net, one's spiritual comfort zone." He summarizes the biggest obstacle to overcome is other peoples willingness to support the Gay/Lesbian community. He says, "This is why the support of family, clergy and policymakers is the linchpin." With the support of these people, all people regardless of sexual preference or gender identity would feel safe within a church home. He says the fear of not having this support keeps the Gay/Lesbian community away from the church and silent, not allowing a safe place for spiritual growth. He states if we truly know who we are as people we should allow others to be who they are without judgement. He feels this is the best solution to the barriers keeping Gay/Lesbians from the Church.
