Teaching History through Film

mediapede.org is proud to host the Teaching History through Film project, which provides resources for high school and junior high teachers who want to use feature films in the classroom.

If you teach history, English, social studies, or media literacy, the film teaching guides here will provide you with ideas for using Hollywood movies in your classroom.
