Hello one and all,
Be forewarned that some of the content in the films that I suggest or that you find on your own will contain strong scenes of violence and a rating that may not be suitable. So, please, check with your parents first before viewing.
You will have two options since many of you have expressed a concern of doing a movie each time.
First Option:If you would like to do a movie, please find a film dealing with our last topics in class such as the Mesoamericans, Amerindians, Andean, or Subsaharan Africa. Remember the time period that we are dealing with. The film has to take place during that time period and no later. Remember to write a one-page paper detailing the history in the film. Do not summarize the movie for a paper.
Some Suggested Titles:
Apocalypto
The Other Conquest (La Otra Conquista)
Kino (1993)
1492
Films for Africa are harder to come by since this time period is not recreated often, if you find one, please pass the information on.
Second Option: There are many documentaries out there dealing with our topics. Find one and do a write up of the information that you find. The Kalamazoo Public Library has a large selection of documentaries on DVD. If all else fails, do a two page research paper on one of the Sub-Saharan kingdoms mentioned in your notes.
