EXTRA CREDIT: Miracle at Midnight

Watch this movie in the library or check it out elsewhere. If you decide to watch it at the Sierra library, you can check out the film on the third floor. The clerk will need the DVD title and call #791.4372.M671. You must watch the movie in the library (you cannot take the DVD home). I highly recommend that you turn on the English subtitles before you watch the movie. When you finish watching the film, answer the questions below. This worksheet is worth 10 points and will be added to your Number the Star quizzes.

DUE DATE: October 23

Important note regarding this assignment: I HIGHLY recommend that you write out your answers on a separate piece of paper then type them into Quia. Quia will NOT save your work. If your computer locks up or has another issue, your work will not be saved. Quia also will not save if you type in a couple answers, then want to finish later. So when you have finished answering ALL five questions, then submit. Your assignment will automatically be sent to Mrs. Freeman.
Name: 


  1. Who was your favorite character in the film and why did you like him/her best?
