To give you a sense of how our Learning Guides can be used by teachers as lesson plans and by parents to supplement school curriculum or for homeschooling, we have set out below the first two sections of the Learning Guide to Glory.
Description: ... At the beginning of the war, most
white Americans believed that blacks could not be disciplined to make good
soldiers in a modern war. The belief was that they would run when fired upon or
attacked. Colonel Shaw, a white abolitionist, and hundreds of black volunteers in his
regiment, gave their lives to prove that black men
could fight as well as whites.
Benefits: Glory shows men, black and white, choosing to die
for a worthwhile cause. It introduces an important event in
U.S. history. The movie, for the most
part, is historically accurate. See Helpful Background Section in the full Learning Guide.
The Learning Guide to Glory also contains sections on Benefits of the Movie, Possible Problems, Helpful Background, Discussion Questions, Links to the Internet, and Bridges to Reading. The Discussion Questions are divided into three categories: Subject Matter, Social-Emotional Learning, and Moral-Ethical Emphasis.
A subscription to TeachWithMovies.com will give teachers access to 285 Learning Guides from which they can easily create lesson plans. Click here to subscribe and learn about young Robert Gould Shaw, the leader of the Massachusetts 54th Volunteer Regiment, its black soldiers, and the movie Glory.
