Gutenberg Movie and Make up Letters

We watched a movie on Johannes Gutenberg, the inventor of the printing press.

Write a five sentence summary of facts you learned from the movie.  (Facts are actual events, not what they put in to make it a cartoon.)

To make up points missed on the funsheets you can write a three paragraph letter.
Paragraph 1: Listening - why it is important to listen to adults (example: teachers, parents, babysitters, cops)?
Paragraph 2: Responsibility - why it is important to do things completely?  (When you are an adult, you cannot do things part way.  You can't sort of pay your bills, you can't sort of stop at a stop sign, etc.)
Paragraph 3: Persuasive - explain to us why you feel you deserve the make up or extra points.

3 more days until the test.  Get studying!!!!!!!
