For this research project, you will create a presentation about your favorite movie. (NOTE: Your movie must be appropriate for school and be rated PG-13 or less.)
Your presentation should be completed using Google Slides (11-15 total), and should feature many facts, images, and perhaps even some video. Focus on the facts and the business of the movie.
What did you like most about the movie? Who wrote/directed/produced the movie? Which studio? When (month/year)? How many tickets were sold? What was the plot/story of the movie? Who were the actors and actresses featured in this movie?? What other merchandise was spawned from this movie? Can you find it today? (Netflix, DVD, Blu-Ray) How much would it cost? Tell us the story, give us the history, make us feel like we during the time when the movie came out... Other fun facts...etc.
