Movies in the Classroom
TWM is a collection of nearly 500 lesson plans and curriculum materials in which "movies are employed to inspire, inform and motivate students, primarily middle and high school. The goal: on the few occasions that movies are used in the classroom, the educational benefit for students will be maximized. TWM is more than just a collection of curriculum materials. It’s a system for using film in the classroom. TWM has standard questions, standard assignments and an essay concerning the devices used in film that can be adapted to any movie."
"Movie Sheets contains one of the largest databases of classroom movie worksheets on the net. These worksheets are based on films that teachers have viewed then subsequently created film guides for. These film sheets have been tested within the classroom." You can search for a film or browse by classroom subject.
Search in one place to find out where a movie or TV show is available to stream, rent, or buy, either to access online or DVD.
