As Christmas is such a long break and we should keep our minds active yet not stressed, I have put together a Christmas extra credit project for you to both enjoy and learn.

Choose one of the movies/TV series listed in the movie section. Then watch either a single movie or two episodes from the TV series. You are then to write a minimum one page (typed/double space/standard margins/size 12/Times New Roman) essay answering the following questions.

1. What time period?
2. What geographical area?
3. Historical flaws

You can earn up to 3% extra credit on any grade you choose.

Here is a good example of a historian looking at movies through a historical lens
