For the teachers on the board

I would have loved something like this in school. It\'s aimed at middle schools.

Quote
The Film Foundation created The Story of Movies, an integrated interdisciplinary curriculum, in recognition of the importance of exposing future generations to classic cinema and teaching them about the cultural, artistic, and historical significance of film.

Thanks to the generous support of the IBM Corporation and Turner Classic Movies (TCM), the Story of Movies programs are being distributed free of charge to schools nationwide.

Thanks, LP! ;)  I just visited the site & got some great writing prompts & they actually make a movie about "the anatomy of an essay" - I didn\'t think grammar/writing movies existed :lol:  :thumbsup:
