Hamburger Hill
Description	The intent of the "History in Film" Web site is to give high school students a place on the Internet to review popular films dealing with historical subjects that are shown in class. Each film included on the site has both a plot summary page and an outline. The plot summary can give your students an overview before they watch the film or serve as a review sheet after. The outline can be used by them to facilitate note taking as they watch the film. Some students respond more positively if they know there is graded work involved in a project, so there is also a homework sheet for every film. To help with that there is also a Links page for each film, so the students can easily find outside resources if they are needed. The film covered here is "Hamburger Hill."

However, "integral" can be a design element which is in itself a dominant aspect of the composition, and gives it emphasis.
