Ms. Wilson’s World History- Quarter 1- EXTRA CREDIT

You may only choose 1 option

Option 1: (35 points) You are to watch a historical movie from the list below that pertains to our time period we are talking about. After watching the movie you are to type a report critiquing the accuracy of the movie. This is NOT to be a simple report of what happened- it is to be your critique of what is accurate and what is not accurate and why. I check the internet for copied papers, btw!

Keep in mind, (these would be good body paragraphs): What is accurate and how so? What is inaccurate and how so?

Your report is to be 3 pages, typed, DOUBLE- SPACED, font: 12” Times New Roman. You must have a cover page with your name, your class period, date, and the name of your movie. On your 3 pages of your report you are to have a footnote with the page number and your last name. You are to also do a word count and place it at the end of the report. Be sure that if you quote information from a site or the movie, you must do a bibliography page and cite your work. (If you have questions on how to do this, please ask me outside of class time)

The acceptable list of movies are:

Robin Hood and the Prince of Thieves (1991), King Arthur (2004), Joan of Arc (1999), The Messenger (1999, Robin Hood (2009), The First Night (1995) Option 2: (15 points per item, max of 2 items)

Bring in classroom supplies for our class to use. Choices are:

Tissues, Hand sanitizer, Bandaids, Package of pencils, sandwich bags, rubber bands, manila folders, package of notecards

DUE: Friday October 19 th , 2012 by 3:45 pm. You are to turn it into me in my classroom in your class’ designated turn-in box on the back table. I do not have to be in the classroom for you to turn it in. As long as the paper is in the turn-in box by the end of the day- I will accept it. I will NOT accept any later than that- it’s extra credit.. no leniency on this one!
