If you would like extra credit, here is your chance.  This project is worth 10 bonus points.  You may add these points to a test, project, or assignment of your choosing.  If you do not indicate the name of the assignment, I will add points to an assignment in the area that I feel will benefit you most.  

Watch the following movie:  Molly: An American Girl of the Home Front

You might be able to rent this movie from your local library.  It is also available to rent on Netflix, Amazon, and Google for a small fee. 

Watch the movie, make 5 connections to our history unit, and explain them.  Each connection should be 3-5 sentences.  Type this in up and email it to your teacher by Friday, March 12th.  Don't forget to include the name of the assignment that you would like your teacher to add your bonus points to. ​
