The Eyes on the Prize documentary is fantastic. The Bill of Rights Institute is a great resource. I also use a movie called Separate but Equal that is historically accurate and very entertaining. The only problem is it is a very long film.

I like to go more in depth on the stories of Emmitt Toll and Claudette Colvin. They are really engaging for my students since they're both teenagers as well. Thinking about these events from the point of view of another teenager usually hits them pretty hard.

Recently incorporated the biography of Claudette Colvin into my lessons, was really well received by my students

I love showing "Thurgood" starring Lawrence Fishburne.

Show them the protest scenes from Forrest Gump, from when he shows up at the rally to when Jenny gets on the bus. It really shows the scope of the protests and can lead into discussions about CR in general.

Hey fellow Disney Lovers,

I generally have a few lessons in which I can use Pixar shorts to teach students how to identify and discuss literary signposts, how to identify and explain the development of theme, character traits, and other narrative elements. What are some of your favorite shorts? I am trying to incorporate activities where my students get to choose their own clips for independent practice with these skills and need a variety to draw from.

Just had my discovery flight and I’ve been wanting to go for my PPL for a while, just not sure I can justify the 15k or so investment in my current financial situation. Would it be really bad to spread my lesson over a period of a few years?

I am pretty sure I fell victim to a scam. I am really embarrassed that I paid money to a company thinking it was a legit deal and am now finding out it was not. I should have known better but pushed aside my instincts and my training because I was stressed about money and thought this would help. Stupid lesson to learn.
