Homework
Find a war movie to view.
Select a "war movie" to view and review. This assignment is due a week from today.By Thursday, conduct some research and find a movie of interest to you. Keep in mind that some war movies are oldies but goodies. Others are recent award-winning films. The war depicted in the movie may be real or imagined. (Think Star Wars, War of the Worlds, or Avatar, for example.) Be ready to share your selection in class and explain why that movie is of interest to you.
Keep in mind that many movies are available on YouTube and other media sites such a Hulu or Amazon Prime. You do not need to spend money on this assignment unless you choose to do so. I suspect that your friends and relatives have old relic CDs, DVDs, and even VHS tapes.
On Thursday, we will study movie reviews and get ready to write one.
