Extra Credit

If you are interested in Extra Credit Opportunities, here are a few ideas: (limit one per trimester)

1. Watch a movie relating to tolerance and report on it.** Once you have watched the movie, you should write a 3-paragraph analysis of the movie, what it was about, and how it was a good vehicle for teaching tolerance. (Worth 10 points)

Some movie ideas are:

a. WWII/Holocaust:

 

The Pianist; Schindler's List; Life is Beautiful, The Diary of Anne Frank, Farewell to Manzanar, Judgment at Nuremberg, The Longest Day, etc.

 

 b. Slavery:

 

Amistad, Roots, Beloved, Mandingo, etc.

 

c. Civil Rights, Diversity, and/or tolerance movies:

  

The Long Walk Home, Rosa Parks,  Four Little Girls, Conrack, Gandhi, Ghosts of Mississippi, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, The Jackie Robinson Story, A Raisin in the Sun, Sarafina, Stand and Deliver, etc.

 

d. Other

 

  

Ask me if you have an idea and want approval (there are many others, these are just the ones I could think of...)

2. Bring box of tissues to class (until I don't need them anymore) - (3 points)
