A brief summation of the movie (no longer than one paragraph in length, approximately 150 words)
How historically accurate was the plot (did these events actually take place as presented in the movie)?
How historically accurate were the characters (were they based on real people, or were they composites of multiple individuals)?
How do the events found in the movie reinforce or disregard themes found in the textbook and the in-class primary source documents (point to specific examples to support your argument)?
How was the historical information presented (was it simply a backdrop for the story that the director wanted to tell, or was it essential)?
