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. It came out not long after "Saving Private Ryan" and was another partnership between Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks which has much the same cinematic style and impact.
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, evaluate it using at least two of our three major historical analyses, i.e., 1) its role in the history of film (or television); 2) as a primary source; and/or 3) as a secondary source.
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!
