Fahrenheit 9/11

After watching Fahrenheit 9/11 and taking copious notes, think about the arguments Moore presents that are problematic.

Now visit one of these websites below and read the entire article (or read both if you are so inclined).

http://www.slate.com/id/2102723/

http://www.davekopel.com/Terror/Fiftysix-Deceits-in-Fahrenheit-911.htm

After reading the article, what are some important points that you noted? What is the author's opinion on the arguments presented by Moore? Is the information the author presents verifiable? Is the author himself a credible source of information? FIND OUT by researching who the author is.

What, do you think, is the purpose of Fahrenheit 9/11? What pieces of information presented by Moore do you think is valuable? End with any final words of your own.

Here is a link for the resources used in Moore's film

Loose Change

After watching the documentary “Loose Change” and taking copious notes, research the claims and evidence found in the film.

Present this evidence to your peers that either supports or rejects the claims made by the film in the blog. Provide links that show your evidence is credible.

Finally, voice your opinion. What do you believe happened on the day of 9/11?

Write 3 well-organized paragraphs for full credit.

Here's the link to the documentary: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7866929448192753501
