UPDATED AP U.S. Gov, Movies, and Extra Credit

I've let slip in a few blocks that I would consider extra credit in the gradebook for people who take an "extra" interest in public affairs, politics, government issues, etc. For now, I'm offering that to people who do the following:

1. See a current movie about public affairs, political issues, government, etc.
2. Bring a ticket stub from said movie.
3. Attach a one-page write-up which explains how the movie relates to our class and what new or "extra" you learned by seeing the movie.

Not just any movie will suffice for this. Here's a list of current movies (in theaters now unless noted) that I think will work. If you have a different idea, propose it to me. You can find info and listings for these movies at RottenTomatoes.com.

• King Corn
• Lake of Fire
• Jimmy Carter, Man From Plains
• In The Valley of Elah
• Darfur Now
• Rendition
• Lions For Lambs
  
• Redacted (opens 11/16)
• Charlie Wilson's War (opens 12/25)
