For Teachers: Lesson Plans, Themes, Facts to Share

Best Movies by Farr knows the power of cinema to inform, enlighten and educate. More educators use relevant films to enhance course offerings and get students – who are increasingly visual learners – engaged and involved. This section is a resource for teachers - with shortcuts to classroom movie guides that do double duty as lesson plans. They cover movies with common social themes and include links to articles by John Farr that may interest instructors at every level. We hope this content is useful. We always welcome suggestions for improvement.
