This time period in history has several films that you can watch that portray the topics we discuss in some way. As always, you must complete a write up to obtain the extra credit. Write a typed, one-page, double spaced, 12 point font paper telling me how the film specifically exhibits characteristics of the time period that we discussed in class.
