MOVIE TIME
Everyone loves movies! But movies that reveal the secrets of history are especially exciting. Through these films we can get to know fascinating characters from history and see a window into the past. There are many types of historical films, some more accurate than others. But each of them have something wonderful to share. The list below is meant to help you find films that relate to our 7th grade SS content. Some of these films we will watch as a class during the year. But most will be up to you to explore!
WAIT!
Please remember that some historical movies may be about sensitive topics and may include violent themes and images. Parents should be the final judge of whether or not an individual movie is appropriate for their child.
