World History4th Quarter Book/Movie ProjectChapters 19-24Due: May 1Each student will choose to watch TWO movies or read ONE book over the course of the quarter. Please see below for suggestions. With the movies, I would recommend using the website . Each movie that is listed there has a Parent Guide feature which explains the questionable content. It is a great tool in deciding which films would be best suited for your viewing.The student will then write a one-page report on each of their selections, focusing on how it demonstrates and relates to what we have studied this quarter.Movies:The African Queen (1951), G, 105 min.All Quiet on the Western Front (1930), NR, 103 min (also a book)Paths of Glory (1957) NR, 86 min.Fly Boys (2006) PG-13, 140 minFor Whom the Bell Tolls (1943) NR, 143 min (also a book)Gandhi (1982) PG, 188 minThe Longest Day (1962), NR, 179 minThe Sound of Music (1965) NR, 174 minThe Great Escape (1963) NR, 172 minMrs. Miniver (1942) NR, 145 minThe Diary of Anne Frank (several movie versions and also a book)The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (2008) PG-13, 94 min (also a book)Life is Beautiful (1997) PG-13, 116 minMidway (1976) PG, 132 minThe Pianist (2002) R 152 minHotel Rwanda (2004) PG-13, 141 minFlight 93 (2006) PG-13 93 minWorld Trade Center (2006) PG-13 129 minBooks:War Horse, by Michael Morpugo, 176 pp (also a movie)The Singing Tree, by Kate Seredy, 265 ppAngel on the Square, by Gloria Whelan, 304 ppNumber the Stars, by Lois Lowry, 136 ppUpstairs Room, by Johanna Rheiss, 208 pp.Farewell to Manzanar by Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston, 146 ppBud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis, 256 ppWinter Cottage, by Carol Ryrie BrinkNothing to Fear, Jackie French Koller ................
