History Through Film 4.13.20

Day 16: Good morning and welcome back! Hopefully by the end of this week we will have an official plan for the district regarding the end of the school year, until then we will keep pushing ahead. This week you will be focusing on the section on The Immigrant Experience, American Expansion, Industrialization and Women’s rights. As you choose from the options below please remember that I use edited versions of these films in class so there may be some content that is for mature audiences. Please select two of the movies from the list below and complete one movie review for each (the first review is due Wednesday and the second is due Friday, or watch the History Channel series The Men Who Built America and complete the attached worksheet.

Far and Away, Gangs of New York, There Will Be Blood, Modern Times, Rough Riders, Iron Jawed Angels, Avalon, Matewan, Men Who Built America, The Wind and The Lion
