*********************EXTRA CREDIT (OPTIONAL) ACTIVITY***********************

Dear Students,

write a one – two page paper for extra credit. The paper should

1. Summarize the plot 2. Identify the characters

3. Explain how you think this movie is relevant to understanding theory in material culture.

textbook as you prepare to watch the movie and write your paper. The movie is available on from

different sources such as “Offbeat Cinema”, ITunes and AmazonPrime.

This is the movie discussed in your textbook. Please read the appropriate sections in your textbook before watching the movie. Please be aware, some may be offended by the content of the movie.

Your full name must be written at the top of your paper submission.

No late submissions will be accepted for any reason. 5 points will be added to your first test grade for complete and thoughtful submissions.

Best Regards,

Paulette R. Hebert, Ph.D.
