California
Newsreel
Study Guides and
Facilitator Guides
Each study guide or
facilitator guide available from California Newsreel is unique to the
film it accompanies. In the classroom, in an informal group setting or
viewing on your own, our companion materials will help you to make personal
connections to the subject matter and examine more closely the issues
addressed in these films. Taken together you will get the most out of
your viewing experience.
Educators -
Many of our guides provide multiple levels of exploration for varying
age groups. They can be easily adapted to meet the needs of middle school,
high school and college viewers.
Home Viewers - All
of our guides may be useful to home viewers wanting to think critically about
the film they have seen and get more out of their viewing experience. They are
also useful for hosting an informal discussion.
