Instructional Ideas
- Instructors should read the entire 17-page teaching guide linked in the Included Materials section of this review before deciding to use the series with their classes
Classroom Considerations
- Young adult literature is usually considered designed for readers from the age of 12 to 18
- Lessons have a definite point of view; the subject matter of the video clips is more appropriate for high school and college readers; therefore, preview the resource to determine if appropriate for your classes
- Requires copies
- Familiarity with A Farewell to Arms would be beneficial but not necessary
- Clips are from the documentary Hemingway by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick
Pros
- The interviews in Spanish include English subtitles
- The stand-alone activity of having groups create a recommended reading list for others is appropriate for readers of any age
Cons
- Some learners will need additional scaffolding to understand the connections between the video clips and the activities
