F.I.L.M. curricula

I just heard about youth film project ("FILM"), a curricula for youth that uses movies to promote literacy, learning and service. I have notused any (yet?) myself, but I trust the folks who mentioned them to me! Their latest is "Journey to the Center of the Earth" but they also have free downloadable curricula for "Kitt Kitridge: An American Girl", "Prince Caspian", "Happy Feet", "Because of Winn Dixie", "Charlotte's Web", and others - for ages from 6 - 18! I do like that they say to read the book and see the movie -- and recommend Project Gutenberg as a way to read books.

Journey to the Center of the Earth

Based on the classic novel by Jules Verne!

In this family adventure, Brendan Fraser, Josh Hutcherson and Anita Briem star as three explorers that plunge deep into a strange new realm beneath the earth's surface where they embark on an amazing voyage and find awe-inspiring sites amidst grave danger.

With spectacular photo-real environments and revolutionary new filmmaking techniques, this movie is an epic adventure that takes audiences directly into the heart of our heroes’ voyage, bringing them along for a wild, visceral ride.
