I have been meaning to post on "Mulan" since we discussed it in class breifly. But closing out the school year has really kept me busy. However, I showed "Mulan" - Rated "G" after the students studied China, and they really seemed to get more out of it. We had a discussion after the video, and I was quite pleasantly surprised at their ability to question and discern fact from fiction.

I use the showing of videos not only for content, but as practice in note taking, as well as looking at plot, setting and characters. In other words, they have a real assignment that must be turned in, within 24-hours of seeing the film.

If anyone can identify more "G" rated films, I certainly would appreciate it. I should ad, I'm looking for subject matter that is either literature turned into film, or film that deals in some way with ancient cilivilizations. Also, Science Fiction can be useful, as long as the science has some basis in fact.[Edit by="lshifflett on Jun 29, 10:09:22 AM"][/Edit]
