Chapter III essay: "Comment on the extent to which each of the following contributed to a more democratic society in the 13 colonies: a) the Great Awakening b) immigration c) the Zenger case" 4. Choose one of the following book and movie pairings that depict American History up to 1900 (note: some are rated R films and contain mature content; if you/your family is uncomfortable with this, there are plenty of lower rated films to choose from). Both read the book and watch the film in entirety (best bet is checking both out at the library, or Ondemand for the films, etc.).

This project will entail: - one large posterboard, well-designed and aesthetically pleasing, with still images from the film,
