Using the Hollywood or History? strategy, each lesson plan offers teachers an inquiry-based approach which allows students to analyze motion pictures, television shows, documentaries, and cartoons using multiple sources.
Aims and scope
Teaching and learning through Hollywood, or commercial, film productions is anything but a new approach and has been something of a mainstay in the classroom for nearly a century.
Purposeful and effective instruction through film, however, is not problem-free and there are many challenges that accompany classroom applications of Hollywood motion pictures.
In response to the problems and possibilities associated with teaching through film, we have developed the Hollywood or History? book series.
The series consists of a collection of collaboratively developed practical, and classroom-ready lesson plans that might assist K-12 history/social studies teachers endeavouring to make effective use of film in their classrooms.
Hollywood or History
Hollywood or History is a podcast that explores the powerful intersection of film and social studies education. Hosted by educator and author Dr. Scott Roberts, each episode features interviews with contributing authors from the Hollywood or History? book series - a collection of classroom-ready lesson plans designed to help teachers critically engage students with historically themed Hollywood films.
