Teaching+With+Film+-+Doco

=**Studying documentary? Defining society and its values?**= Take Part is a social action website which offers (for free last time I checked) educational guides for teaching documentaries and films with a social theme.

I have adapted the "Darfur Now" teaching resource for a social studies lesson! There is a strong website direction on sharing content - knowing the issues - actions to take - groups - takepart in the blog.

__Other films of interest:__ Angels in the Dust An Inconvenient Truth The Kite Runner The Cove The Soloist - I am awaiting the release here in NZ The Visitor - very interesting film!!!

Use in the classroom: Values, defining values of American Society, the representation of Africa in the media, representation of reality, types of docos, discussion, developing argument, constantly reminding students how docos relates or influences society, moral PANIC.....etc endless opportunities! 3.4, 2.3
