This collection of U.S. history-related materials is designed to transform ""media-passive"" viewers into ""media-active"" students who question what they see on the screen. Fourteen films, arranged chronologically from colonial days through the end of the 20th century, are each detailed with background, plot synopsis, resource list, and two reproducible student handouts: a page on what to watch for and a page of questions. Among the movies: The Patriot, Amistad, Glory, Dances With Wolves, The Grapes of Wrath, Dr. Strangelove, and The Long Walk Home. The book also provides a film analysis guide sheet, a guide to Vietnam films (fictional and documentary), and an OK Corral shootout study comparing three films. Grades 612. Index. Bibliography. Glossary. Web resources. Illustrated. JWW467.

Students study primary sources related to ten historical figures (plus Boxers of China) then respond through discussion, writing, or taking part in mock trials. Each unit has a background article with questions for critical thought followed by 59 documents. A guide section summarizes each document and explains its significance. The final section has legal forms, handouts, and fill-in sheets for conducting mock trials. Nine units focus on Europeans like Luther, Cromwell, Peter the Great, Peel, and Pankhurst. Two (Pancho Villa, Boxers) fall outside Europe. Grades 912, advanced 78. Resources. JWW221.

Twenty lessons provide models of differentiated instruction. Attentive to visual/spatial, verbal/linguistic, logical/mathematical, musical/rhythmic, bodily/kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist learning styles and flexible in terms of grouping options, time needed, allowing multiple approaches, encouraging multiple perspectives, and promoting interest-based learning choices, the often-cross-curricular lessons address American and world history, geography, and civics. Among the lessons: ""A Medieval Fair,"" ""What Happened Here? - A Study of Genocide,"" ""Where Would You Place a Settlement?"", ""The Ellis Island Experience: A Simulation,"" ""History Hall of Fame,"" ""Demographic Statistics on African Nations,"" and ""The Powers of Congress."" Grades 58. JWW995.
