Marking Period 2: Extra Credit

First Extra Credit Assignment:


This is open to everyone in all my US2 classes.  Go and see the film  12 Years A Slave - which is based on Solomon Northup's account of his experiences as a slave.  Simply bring me the ticket stub and I will ask you one simple question about the film.  If you do this you will receive an extra 15 points towards your grade. 

I know this falls within the US1 curriculum, but this film is so good that everyone, and I mean everyone should see it!  It is completely voluntary, but be forewarned - this film is very violent, brutally denigrating, has a bit of nudity and will leave you stunned.  But this is the best film about slavery and just how horrific it actually was in the South.
