Walt Disney
Highly recommended when classes can watch most or all of the program. Teachers tight for time may be tempted to fast forward through the cartoons and movie clips, but these visuals bring viewers emotionally into the film and make Disney's artistic impact impossible to deny.
First Peoples
A good choice for high school biology, anthropology, archaeology, or human culture classes.
The Poe Estate
Lots of fun, particularly for those who enjoyed the previous books. Suggest this title as a refreshing change from dystopian drama and to young teens who miss Harry Potter.
Outage
A survivalist/action/adventure choice that is less gritty but similar to A Matter of Days (Penguin Random House Audio, 2013).
Cancer: The Emperor of All Maladies
This powerful film, at six hours, will not fit all curricula. There are several segments with possibilities for motivated biology classes, as well as commentary on the role of failure and perseverance in research.
Last Days in Vietnam
This Oscar-nominated documentary would be a powerful addition to classes studying the Vietnam War, diplomacy, or ethics.
The Sixties
All episodes are highly informative, evenhanded, and will hold the interest of teen viewers. The excellent production values and well-rounded topic coverage make this a strong choice for any classroom.
