Movies and Visual Learning

Documentaries and conservative issues movies are being released in increasing numbers.  Educational issues have been documented in a variety of formats.  There may even be some items that are not movies but would be good visual learning tools. 

 

Coming movie releases could be announced or reviews of those already out would be helpful.

"The Constitution and the Camps..." video by Matthew Shimura (C-Span.org)

This 8-minute video was the grand prize winner in the student documentary contest at C-Span.org.  Matthew Shimura uses old film footage, on-site memorial, and both family history and interviews to lay out his video.  Excellent video and I recommend it for students as well.

 

"Matthew Shimura's video, The Constitution and the Camps: Due Process and the Japanese-American Internment, was the grand prize winner in C-SPAN Classroom's StudentCam documentary contest. He is a ninth grader at Punahou School in Honolulu.


The local cable company was Time Warner.


C-SPAN Classroom's StudentCam video documentary contest was a national competition in which middle and high school students produced a documentary focusing on the significance of any provision of the U.S. Constitution."
