Snow Day Movies

Stories happen all around us, and movies are a great place for them. Today, take some time to watch a movie or a documentary or footage related to WWII. You probably already have a few in mind, but if not, here's a list from Wikipedia of movies made during and since the war. The list is long so be sure to scroll down until you find something that seems appealing. Don't forget there are lots of documentaries and bit of footage online and on History Channel sites and others. Dig around.

Once you watch something, write about the movie - use the following questions to guide you: what did you watch and why? what did you think of it -- what made it work? or not? what does it show us about the war or the time period? how does it fit in with what we've been reading?
