Book Description
This book is an effort to serve the homeschooling community, classroom teachers, and any families who wish to learn with the movies; to make learning come alive through the use of drama and film. Children more highly retain the facts of what is studyed when embedded into a really good story. This same principle holds true for film. If children SEE the time period, persons discovery and/or life in the context of a well done film, then they are much more apt to retain the facts since they have a context or framework into which the facts fit. This is much more enjoyable than the dry, rote memorization of facts.
