Driving Question: As a student you are exposed to many different interpretations of what is real and what is fake, but can you tell the difference for yourself? In film, can you interpret what is real history or what is made in hollywood?

Targeted Grade Level and Class: 10th Grade

Project Description:

Our project is based on if History is accurately portrayed in film.  We're going to have a powerpoint or video with still pictures from movies that have historical events in them along with real pictures of that certain historical event.  We'll have sort of a game show theme trying to sort of intrigue them and not tell them the actual answer to whether the film is portraying history correctly. 

Background Information: Knowledge of technology as well as subject matter pertaining to each video.
