Teaching Social Studies, Language Arts, Government, or Current Events?
PBS Frontline has launched “The Enemy Within” an impressive web project designed to look at 9/11 - 5 years later. Dig into the site with your students and find out who is the real enemy within?
"The website is a project of the Investigative Journalism for Print and Television Seminar at the University of California at Berkeley, Graduate School of Journalism, taught by Reva and David Logan Professor Lowell Bergman."
From the site you can watch the 60 minutes film via QuickTime or Windows Media Player or buy the VHS/DVD to use in your classes, check out ‘readings & links’ to current writings, or join the discussion forum to expand your knowledge and learn from others’ viewpoints, and read interviews with Counterterrorism and Legal Experts.
This journalism site provides resources for students to read, assess, think critically, analyze and come to their own conclusions. Aren’t those the higher level thinking skills we are trying to develop?
The site provides a Teacher's Guide with lesson plan, discussion questions, links to more curriculum ideas and resources, and provides a PDF file of the entire teacher's guide for you to print and keep.
