IN COLLECTION
Questions and lesson plans for movies. This folder contains a number of resources for many different subject areas.
Students should be aware that we will not be viewing all of these films this year. Many of these resources are for classes I am not currently teaching.
Collection Contents
History Place
by Mr. Harpine .A website with an extensive list of educational Hollywood films. Includes ratings and summaries.
Historical Movies Listing
by Mr. Harpine .If you want a more extensive list of historical movies, take a look at this site. He lists a ton of films and provides plot summaries and personal ratings/opinions.
Moviesheets.com
by Mr. Harpine .A collection of movie worksheets
Secrets of the Dead
by Mr. Harpine .An excellent PBS series about archaeology and tragedies of the past. You can view them online at this website.

History in Film

Movie Sheets
by Mr. Harpine .A collection of essay prompts for various movies. Over 35 files are included in this collection. I have also included general movie resources. Most of these files are in pdf format and have been stored in a zip folder. Hopefully this reorganization will make the files easier to use. If you are having trouble opening zip files try the following program… http://peazip.sourceforge.net/ If you are unable to view Notebook Files try the following program… http://www2.smarttech.com/st/en-US/Support/Downloads/Notebook+IV/
Gandhi Resources
by Mr. Harpine .Gandhi resources created by Robert Lucas. This collection contains a three day lesson plan for the movie Gandhi. (You need to scroll down a bit to find the files)
Streaming Video
by Mr. Harpine .This is a list of United Streaming Videos that I feel are useful. This list is designed to help teachers sort through the large quantity of material to find high quality resources. If your school does not have United Streaming, the films I listed should be available from the original publisher. I have not listed anything which did not air on tv at some point (I don't think the videos created by United Learning for the web site are very good).
Additional Film Picks
by Mr. Harpine .A list of additional films which might be helpful in a history class. I do not have essay prompts for these films but, there are generic movie note taking sheets in this collection.
Vanguard
by Mr. Harpine .Vanguard is a news/ current events show on Current.tv. The show is fast paced and interesting however, some topics are not appropriate for school. In other words, you should preview the episodes before showing them.
