Discussion Points or Reflection Assignments

  1. What is Dia de Los Muertos (The Day of the Dead) and why did people in the film celebrate it?
  2. Why was the song “Remember Me” significant?  How did it link in with the family’s history and the film’s overall message?
  3. How would you describe The Land of the Dead?  What sorts of colors were there? Was it a scary place?  Why did some people keep disappearing?
  4. Would you describe Coco as a happy or sad film, or do with think it was a bit of both? Why?
  5. Draw a picture, write a song, or create a short story or poem to acknowledge somebody in your family or someone else close to you.  Be sure to include what you like best about them and some of their most distinctive characteristics. Also think about if there is a particular place or location that you associate with them and try to incorporate it into your work.

Each week we will send out a problem solving challenge as a friendly competition among students, faculty and staff. They will vary in topic, format and difficulty. Problems are posted on Tuesdays and answers need to be returned via email to Professor Anne O'Shea (aoshea@northshore.edu) or Professor John Gambino (jgambino@northshore.edu) by 11:00 am on Friday of the same week.     

The first randomly selected correct entry, regardless of when it is received, will earn 10 pts, the next 9 pts, the third 8 pts, the fourth 7 pts and the fifth 6 pts. All other correct submissions will earn 5 points. The person with the highest cumulative point total at the end of the semester (12/13) will be declared the winner and Problem Solving Champion and win a “fabulous” prize. Separate contests will be held for Students and Faculty/Staff.

Problems are posted each in the Bulletin each week, posted on the North Shore Community College Mathematics Department Facebook page, and on bulletin boards across from LE303 (Lynn) and on the first floor of the Berry Building (Danvers) by Tuesday.
