Benedict Arnold: A Question of Honor is the story of the man whose name is now synonymous with the word traitor, but who was once regarded as a patriotic hero by his friend George Washington. This original movie is the dra- matic re-creation of the events and personalities surrounding Benedict Arnold during the American Revolution, and his decision to betray his country.

Benedict Arnold's life presents an interesting study in early American life and in character development as well. While the movie hints at Arnold's origins, the brief biography presented online will help you understand Arnold's complexities. Visit AandE.com/class for a one-page biographical synopsis.

One of the most famous Greek city-states was the military polis of Sparta. Characterized by an austere lifestyle that centered on the military training and prowess of its male citizens, Sparta was one of the most feared states in the ancient world. Spartan soldiers began their training at the age of seven, when they entered military life. These boys learned that they lived for the good of the state and that to be thought a soldier of the most savage kind was the highest honor a man could achieve. Thousands of years later, spartan has become a word that implies the simplicity and ferocity of the ancient polis.

This documentary explores the rise and fall of Spartan culture, and how it influenced and defined ancient Greece. Students will learn about the political, military, and cultural aspects of Sparta. They will explore the concept of the polis and the city-state, as well as the role of Sparta and other areas of Greece in the formation of Western civilization.

National Contest: June 15-19, 2003 During the 2002-2003 school year, National History Day invites students to research topics related to the theme "Rights and Responsibilities in History." The theme is broad enough in scope to encourage investigation of topics ranging from local to world history. Topics should be carefully selected and developed in ways that best use students' talents and abilities. Whether a topic is a well-known event in world history or focuses on a little-known individual from a small community, students should be careful to place their topics into historical perspective, examine the significance of their topics in history, and show development over time. Studies should include an investigation into available primary and secondary sources, analysis of the evidence, and a clear explanation of the relationship of the topic to the theme "Rights and Responsibilities in History." Then, students may develop papers, performances, documentaries, and exhibits for entry into National History Day competitions.
