Extra+Credit+Opportunity

We have spent the last few days watching Forrest Gump in class (which was the inspiration for your final project). Now, I'm giving you one last opportunity to boost your grade based on your ability to analyze this film.

You will have the opportunity to earn up to 10 extra credit points by writing a 3 page paper (double-spaced) responding to the following prompt:

"Many people have argued that 'Forrest Gump' tells the story of history from 1960-present in a very conservative manner. Do you believe that this movie shows a conservative bias? Why or why not?"

You must submit a hard copy of your paper to me by 8 am on Monday, June 7th AND upload a copy of this to turnitin.com. No late papers will be accepted. Your paper must be a minimum of three pages, but may not be any longer than four pages (typed, double-spaced, 12 point Times New Roman font). If you go even one word onto a fifth page, you will receive no credit and I will throw it into the trash and laugh (okay, that last part may not be true, but I'm serious about the length). Please cite your sources using the format of your choice (MLA, APA, or Chicago style).

When you turn it in, please indicate which portion of your grade you would like this added on to (project, tests, DBQ/FRQ, homework).

Good luck!
