Learning with the Movies
Written especially for homeschoolers who want to use movies to enrich their studies, this informative book will guide you through each period of history, from Bible times through ancient civilizations such as Egypt, Greece, Rome, Mayans, Vikings, on to the Middle Ages, Renaissance, Reformation, and right through the centuries into modern history with its multitude of war movies. Other educational or family appropriate movies are included too. I appreciate the author's objections, which she notes next to the movie entry, keeping negative surprises from coming on your screen unawares. She even notes well-known historical movies that she recommends you don't view! A unique and useful book that will make your homeschool much more fun (and educational)!
This new version has more than 800 additional movies!
