extra credit opportunities
You may watch one of the following and write a one page summary and reaction for 10 points extra credit. Be sure to include a parent signature that says you watched the film. You may only do two of these, for a grand total of 2o extra credit points.
These 2 are documentaries and I don't know if Blockbuster carries them:
1- "Obsession: Radical Islam's War the West"
2- "The Iron Wall"
These ones might be easier to find-
1- El Norte (a story of immigration to the U.S.)
2- Munich (the story of what happened after 11 Israeli's were killed at the Munich Olympics)
3- Hotel Rwanda (about the genocide in Rwanda)
