World+War+II+Movie+Extra+Credit

In order to provide more perspective on World War II (our next unit) and make the events of WWII come to life, KIS US History students have the opportunity to watch a movie focusing on WWII to earn extra credit. Students who choose to do this can earn extra credit by following these steps: Many of you have asked for an extra credit opportunity, so here is one for you. These movies are all quite good and there is tremendous value in watching any one of these. I will warn you that Saving Private Ryan and Schindler's List are a bit more gory than the other two, so you may want to factor that into you decision of what movie you will choose to watch.
 * // WWII Movie Extra Credit //**
 * Watch one of the following movies: //**The Pianist,**// //**Saving Private Ryan,**// //**Schindler's List,**// or **//Swing Kids.//**
 * **STUDENTS MUST NOT HAVE EVER SEEN THE MOVIE BEFORE IN ORDER TO EARN EXTRA CREDIT.**
 * Take a picture of yourself(ves) watching the movie and bring it to Mr. Wood by **Wednesday Jan 12.**
 * On that day, students will receive their assignment that will require questions to be answered about the movie. It is approximately 2 pages (typed) of answers. Students will bring that to class on **Friday January 14**. Those who have completed all steps and have thoughtful responses will earn up to **5 bonus points** on a 1st semester test grade.
