This is for Canadian teachers in social studies,
science, visual arts, media studies, and business.  
The age range is Grade 6-12.

The Canadian Broadcasting Coporation has assembled
about a thousand(!) of its most famous radio and TV
news clips.  Fortunately, the collection is thoroughly
indexed and well presented. Many of the clips are
further woven, in the "For Teachers" section, into
lesson plans for various subjects and grade levels.

LITERACY - WHY IS ENGLISH SO HARD TO LEARN?
Integrate literacy (Language Arts), the arts (music) and
technology into the classroom using Interdisciplinary,
thematic, collaborative Online Curriculum, Readability Tools
Resources about American Dialects.

**************************************************************

News clips by their nature -- short, informative and
vivid -- provide you-are-there relevance for 20th
century history that is otherwise hard to achieve in
a classroom. Consider them "source documents" that
you listen to rather than read.

As an example, I think no treatment of World War II
would be complete without listening to two minutes of
Churchill's "Chicken" speech ("Some chicken!... Some
neck!") delivered in Ottawa in the dark early months
of the war. Most major events since 1939 are covered
by at least one clip.

Audio and video clips run in Windows Media Player.
Video quality at full screen is marginal, but may
work in projection. Audio quality is clear. There is
no advertising.
