Last Samurai film assignment

Student Learning Objective- Students will compare and contrast traditional and modern Japan.

After the completion of the film, the class will have a film discussion.  After the film discussion, even if it is that day in class, I will collect the assignment.  The assignment is very simple.  Record facts and quotes from the film.  Facts should be things that happen that indicate real factors in Japan or the world (geographic social, economic, political, historic, etc.).  Quotes that we record are spoken words that are so insightful that indicate facts, but are so interesting or powerful that we do not paraphrase.  When recording quotes, also write what it means or why it's important!  Here is how I would do it.

FACTS                                                                              QUOTES
