Thanksgiving Break Assignment

Over each vacation this year (Thanksgiving, Christmas, February, April) you are required to complete a book/film project.  This is the same project for each vacation so if you were being a fastidious planner you could basically do these project whenever.

The description of this assignment is linked up HERE.  Remember - you can substitute the word 'book' for the word 'film' and complete the assignment as designed.  You may do up to two fictional books, one non-fiction book, and one film.  All films must be approved by me beforehand (NO DISNEY!) 

Here is the link to the RUBRIC I will use to grade you on this project.  Please be aware of the difference between 'meets expectations' and 'exceeds expectations'.  

A list of books and films is linked up HERE. Again, if you would like to do a book/film that is not on the list you must gain approval by me first (an email is okay).  Use your judgement and the quality/type of books that are already on the list to see if your choice of book/film is up to the content/rigorous standards of APWH.  

Side note - I hate reading books about things I don't like (ex/ the War of 1812 - gross.)   I wouldn't read that book carefully or give it my best level of work/effort.  Choose a book that sounds like something you'd be interested in.  It makes a world of difference.
