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 All the President's Men.
After the press broke the Watergate story, other institutions of the government joined in the investigation and were instrumental in bringing Nixon's lieutenants to justice and forcing Nixon from office. They included: the Watergate Special Prosecutors, Archibald Cox and Leon Jaworski, U.S. District Judge John J. Sirica who required that the burglars, particularly James McCord, cooperate with the Special Prosecutor or face heavy sentences, and the U.S. Congress, whose televised impeachment hearings led to the vote of the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives to recommend that Nixon be impeached. Facing impeachment, Nixon resigned on August 9, 1974.
The Learning Guide to this movie will help you create a meaningful lesson plan about the Watergate scandal. The Learning Guide to All the President's Men contains sections on Benefits of the Movie, Possible Problems, Helpful Background, Discussion Questions, Links to the Internet, and Bridges to Reading.
