Parker (Spenser, detective series), and Theodor Seuss Geisel / a.k.a. Dr. Seus (Children’s author, Cat in the Hat, Horton Hears a Who!)  In recent years Boston has become increasingly popular as a location for film and television (for example TV shows such as Boston Public, Boston Legal, The Practice, Ally McBeal, Spenser for Hire, The Real World: Boston, etc. and movies such as Good Will Hunting, Fever Pitch, Celtic Pride, Mystic River, the Departed, etc.).  Some of the sources listed above will be used as study materials.  Students will take an active part in the choosing process.
