Seeing Stephen Spielberg's _Lincoln_ and Earning Extra-Credit for Early Ame. Lit.

This week, on 16 November, a new production of the life of Lincoln will open nationwide. It's put together by executive producer, Stephen Spielberg, and the movie was shot this past year in Virginia.  Since you've read Lincoln for our Early American class ("The Gettysburg Address," etc.), and--in particular--you read some of the Enlightenment and Romantic literature surrounding the Abolition of slavery in the United States, I thought I would offer two points extra-credit to those who go to see the film and used it as an opportunity to learn more about the literature and about Antebellum America and Civil War America.

As always, to earn the extra-credit, there should be a photo of you helping to "prove" you went to see the movie, maybe standing in line or getting popcorn.  Also, to earn extra credit, write a short review of the film and how it helped you learn about the Early American time period, the literature we have read, or Lincoln as an author.  Post the image and your review to your blog.
