Enjoy your Spring Break, students!
Many of you asked about the possibility of extra credit over Spring Break. I don't often offer extra credit, but I'm making an exception.
The Civil War has inspired many movies and documentaries; some are excellent, others less so. Many of these films are available on YouTube, Netflix, and at your local public library. For extra credit, choose two films, watch them, and write a critical review. If they are R-rated, you need to include a signed permission slip from your parents.
Your critical review should be at least three paragraphs. One paragraph (at least) should summarize and give a general overview of the movies. Another paragraph should be your discussion of what you learned about the Civil War from the movies, comparing and contrasting one with the other. Finally, a paragraph (at least one) should be your review of the two: what did you like, what did you not like, and why?
Drop the review in your assignment folder with the title, "MOVIE REVIEW-EXTRA CREDIT."
Wikipedia has a partial list of Civil War movies and documentaries on this link.
