EXTRA-CREDIT OPPORTUNITY *THIS WEEKEND*!!

The epic mini-series "Band of Brothers" will be on the History Channel THIS WEEKEND!

It's an amazing series, and well worth every minute you watch.

Saturday, April 21st: Parts 1-5, from 12:30PM to 7PM
Sunday, April 22nd: Parts 6-10, from 12:30PM to 7PM

(In addition, it's also available at Blockbuster!)

Because it is a TEN PART MINISERIES, I will give you until the end of the semester to complete viewing and writing-up this assignment. In addition, because I recommend so highly this series, I want to give you an incentive to watch as much of it as humanly possible. :-)

As a result, for each episode that you see, explain in 1-2 pages something new that episode has taught you about the history of the mid-twentieth century that you didn't know before (preferably beyond just the military history part about who won what battle where and when!) For each write-up that you do (and do well), I'll give you 2 points of extra-credit to be applied where you need it most!

Enjoy the viewing!
