If you do unit studies or just like to enrich your homeschool program
with videos, you have to have this book by Beth Holland! This is
another resource I discovered at the OCHEC convention and immediately
purchased.
Learning with the Movies
includes a listing of cinema movies and made-for-TV movies. The beauty
of this guide is that all the movies are organized chronologically
beginning with Bible Times and Ancient Egypt through 1900's. If you are
doing a study on Rome, simple look through the section on Ancient Rome!
For instance, in the Rome section, she has included Ben-Hur, Demetrius
and the Gladiator, fall of the Roman Empire, Julius Caesar, Jupiter's
Darling, Quo Vadis?, The Robe, Sign of the Pagan (about Attila the
Hun), and Spartacus. There is also some blank space for you to list
additional movies as you find them.
Finally, she has also
included movies related to the Music/Arts (example: The Agony and the
Ecstasy which is about Michelangelo), Biographies (example: Abe Lincoln
in Illinois), Sports (example: Brian's Song), Science/Nature (example:
Apollo 13), Horses (example: Miracle of the White Stallions), Medicine
(example: The Girl in White), Literature (example: A Christmas Carol),
Holidays (example: Miracle on 34th Street), and Family Films (just
plain fun
Each movie listing includes its production date,
Beth's star rating, and the parental guidance rating (PG, G, etc). An
alphabetical listing is in the back of the book.
