Option B

Various films have been made detailing the struggles of living under the Nazi regime.  These films bring unique perspectives in their attempts to capture the environment created by the Nazis.  If you choose this option you are to choose one of the films from this list:

1. The Great Dictator

2. Life is Beautiful

3. Swing Kids

4. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas

5. Paper Clips  (a documentary on teaching the Holocaust)

Please Note: These are the only films that can be used for the assignment.  If you have a recommendation for my students for next year, please let me know and I will watch it over the summer and see if it fits the curriculum. 

For the Project, you are going to write a very brief 1/2 page to 1 page summary on the film, then answer a series of questions that I will provide for you. 

I plan on showing the Great Dictator and Paper Clips after school at some point, the date has not been determined.
