Subject: World's Most Famous Lesson Plan -- Network Nuggets
*** [[[ WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS LESSON PLAN ]]] ***
http://www.pbs.org/frontline/shows/divided
While originally designed for the third and fourth
grade, this lesson should interst all educators who
teach about discrimiation in any form. The Teacher's
Guide suggests that it's more suitable in Grades 9
through adult.
>From a recent PBS press release:
"Jane Elliott divided her [third-grade] class by eye
color -- those with blue eyes and those with brown.
On the first day, the brown-eyed children were told
they were smarter, nicer, neater and better than those
with blue eyes and were praised and given special
privileges. In contrast, the blue-eyed children had
to wear collars around their necks, and their behavior
and performance were criticized and ridiculed. On the
second day, the roles were reversed..."
PBS will rebroadcast its documentary of this lesson,
"A Class Divided", as Frontline's twentieth-anniversary
show on February 28. More importantly for Nuggets,
the *entire* documentary is posted on this web site,
at a streaming video resolution suitable for classroom
projection. Now you can teach from as much or as
little of the documentary as you like.
The online Teacher's Guide has lesson plans around
the video, and important advisories for dealing with
the strong emotions that often surface in classrooms
where it is used.
"A Class Divided" is 46 minutes of streaming video,
in five separate RealPlayer or WindowsMedia files, for
either slow or fast connections. The fast-connection
version is suitable for classroom projection. It is
feasible to fast-forward to various points, so as to
view excerpts whose location you have identified
beforehand. Of course, you can just order the VHS
video from Frontline if download is not feasible.
PBS Websites carry no advterising, other than for the
series or show they feature.
