After viewing the film clip, make comments in the third column evaluating the accuracy of your predictions. In some cases, the film portrays the facts just as Carlin’s book recorded them.

• Circle unknown words and phrases. Try to determine the meaning of the words by using context clues, word parts, or a dictionary.
• Make predictions in the margin about changes the filmmakers might make to this scene.
