Extra Credit Film Screening: The Pianist


An extra credit film screening will be held on Wednesday, April 13th. The film "The Pianist" will be shown in order to supplement in-class material on the Holocaust.

Viewing the film and writing an historical film review will net students the opportunity to earn up to 5 extra credit points on the unit 4 test. Directions on how to write the film review will be discussed and distributed in class, immediately before the screening begins.

The screening will last from 3:45 until approximately 6:20pm. It is expected that students view the screening in its entirety, are attentive and are taking notes throughout the film. Any variance from this behavior will result in expulsion from screening. It is fine if you would like to bring food and/or beverages to the screening.

Please note, you will need permission slips for this screening. You can access the permission slip by clicking here.


Film reviews are due and will be collected Wednesday, April 20th.
