The FALL '95 season presents a 7-week block of programs with two encore dates for each program. These programs may be taped at school or at home and used in the classroom for one year from the date of taping. The erasure date is listed at the beginning of each program. Most documentaries can be used in a variety of grade levels, depending on how they are presented in class. Even sophisticated programs can be used at the elementary level if short clips are used or if the volume is turned down and narration is provided by a teacher.
Every documentary is preceded by study questions and vocabulary words.
Assignment Discovery features two uninterrupted documentaries, each approximately 25 minutes in length. Assignment Discovery concludes with a video bulletin board, providing teachers with timely listings of events, news, resources and opportunities. Your objectives should be tied to your school and district's curriculum and to the lesson objectives of the ITV program, stated in the teacher's guide for each program. Don't just show a TV program to entertain the students. The program must meet predetermined objectives that lead into, tie into, or conclude a lesson in your current curriculum.
