Mon, 07 Jun 2010 07:22:44 +0000 http://charactercounts.org/chron/?p=1391#comment-20 I am also using Film Clips in a fifty minute academic enrichment class five day a week. The students' feedback and upper level thinking skills as eleven and twelve year olds are remarkable. The video of the students working in class on the web page speaks for itself as far as the enthusiasm and excitement these clips bring into the classroom. The only negative comment I heard from any student was the class was never long enough to finish our discussions. That is the kind of complaint I love to have from a classroom full of students! This is proof that Film Clips not only works in the lower level grades in an elementary environment but works as well if not better in the middle school environment where the students are trying to discover who they are, I totally agree that this material can be used in any class to introduce new concepts, set the tone of a novel to be read, or bring to life how it felt for the survivors of he Holocaust in our Social Studies classes. These materials cross the curriculum easily and are very well outlined to ensure success for even the first year teacher.
