Movie Permission Slip

YOU NEED TO HAVE THIS PERMISSION SLIP SIGNED BY A PARENT/GUARDIAN IN ORDER TO WATCH THE MOVIE. HAND THIS IN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Dear Parent/Guardian:
In class, we are finishing reading the novel The Giver. In order to compare and contrast a similar situation as what is happening in The Giver, we will be watching The Truman Show (1998) in class. This movie is rated PG for thematic elements and mild language; your student needs your permission to view the movie. I have recently reviewed this movie, and I feel that it is an excellent contrast and comparison to The Giver and gives us much to talk about concerning utopia versus dystopia, truth, memories, etc.

I give permission for my student (PRINT student name) ______________________________ to watch the film The Truman Show in Mrs. Merrill’s English class.
