The book also provides material on other historical films, a synopsis of 100 related films, a film analysis guide sheet, and, for an intriguing exercise in media literacy, a comparative study of the shootout at the OK Corral as shown in different films. For example, The Immigrant Experience uses vintage images from the Library of Congress to depict leaving the old country, first contacts in America, the immigrant as seen by others, and adapting to a new life. The 20-page guides present reproducible worksheets featuring each image, plus discussion questions and ideas for individual and group activities. With reproducible fact sheets, courtroom rules, and instructions for each role from defendant to judge, students simulate the famous trial that explored that gray area where free speech ends and incitement to riot begins. Directions for the simulation are contained in a 30-page booklet.
Materials vary in difficulty to permit maximum classroom flexibility.
