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 a paragraph from the Learning Guide to The Sound of Music.
On March 12, 1938, Nazi troops peacefully entered Austria to effect the union of Austria
and Germany. This was called the "Anschluss." Germany and its friends in Austria
claimed that there was a common Austro-German language and culture and that Austria
should be a part of the Third Reich. As shown in the movie, the few Austrians
who opposed the Anschluss were drowned out in a chorus of "Heil Hitlers."
The Learning Guide to The Sound of Music contains sections on the 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.
