H.W. for Tonight

Yesterday, Ms. Brady gave out readings on the Japanese Interment Camps that were in the United States.  Tonight for homework you are to answer the questions that went along with that reading.  

This afternoon I will be showing Paperclips after school and tomorrow I will be showing The Great Dictator.    Make sure that you are staying on task with the assignment, whether it be the book option, film, or the propaganda.

Questions for the Movie

For those of you who are choosing Option B, you need to answer at least 3 of the following questions. All together, the answers the answers to these questions should be between one and two pages.

1. Would you recommend this movie be shown in class? In your opinion, what aspects of the film do you think other students should experience?

2. What character from the film do you identify the most with? Why? What traits do they exhibit?

3. Was there a point in the movie that you would have (wanted to) have spoken up at? Is there a modern day (within the past decade) event that the events in the film are connected to?

4. If your movie was historical fiction (Great Dictator, Swing Kids, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas) is there any criticism of the film? If so, what is it?
