Extra Credit

I emailed this to everyone on Weds Evening.  You MUST use Google Docs!  There will be three more options explained in class, including one for people VERY FAR from passing (like if you're in the 30%-50% range).  I will explain that one tomorrow and post it here tomorrow evening.  Check back!

Here are 8 Extra Credit Opportunities ranging from 5 minutes to 20 minutes:  (Check your email/GDocs)  You can do only 1 or all 8, plus up to 5 more (of your choosing, but related to citizenship, government, education, or "the future").  If you do others, you will have to submit them as a new GDOC with a separate sheet for each video with an included link.  This opportunity is due by Friday after the end of the break (Jan 7). 

There is also an opportunity to do four movie critiques.  You can watch a movie, write a review with your thoughts on how it could be of educational value (1 page - 300 words or so).  You must clear the title with me BEFOREHAND and make yourself subject to a one-on-one discussion with me.  If I found that you simply used wikipedia or IMDB, you will forfeit any existing and future EC opportunities. 
Suggestions include: 
Lions for Lambs
Bullworth
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
Children of Men
Soylent Green
Fahrenheit 451
Wag the Dog
The Candidate
Election
Dr. Strangelove
All the President's Men
The American President
Dave
*or something else if you have another preference

Movie Reviews are also due the Friday after break, with follow-up discussions the following week.
