How to use interactive notebooks

Tough guise 2 : violence, manhood & American culture

1 DVD (15 min.)

1 DVD (78 min.)

Lots of experienced and talented teachers know that interactive notebooks are great tools for instruction and learning in the classroom. This 15 minute program shares this secret and shows how to use interactive notebooks effectively in any grade and subject.

In this highly anticipated update of the influential and widely acclaimed Tough Guise, pioneering anti-violence educator and cultural theorist Jackson Katz argues that the ongoing epidemic of men's violence in America is rooted in our inability as a society to move beyond outmoded ideals of manhood.

Today, Mike tours the nationœs high schools to share his story, and to warn students never to drink and drive.

Viewers will also hear from emergency room physicians who describe the traumas and deaths they have seen as a result of drunk driving.

The qatsi trilogy 3 DVDs (274 min.)

“Astonishingly photographed, and featuring unforgettable, cascading scores by Philip Glass, these are immersive sensory experiences that meditate on the havoc humankind's obsession with technological advancement has wreaked on our world"--Container.

Koyaanisqatsi. This first work of The Qatsi Trilogy wordlessly surveys the rapidly changing environments of the Northern hemisphere, in an astonishing collage created by the director, cinematographer Ron Fricke, and composer Philip Glass. It shuttles viewers from one jawdropping vision to the next, moving from images of untouched nature to others depicting human beings, increasing dependence on technology.

Powaqqatsi. Reggio turns his sights on third-world nations in the Southern hemisphere. Forgoing the sped-up aesthetic of the first film, Powaqqatsi employs a meditative slow motion in order to reveal the beauty of the traditional ways of life in those parts of the planet, and to show how cultures there are being eroded as their environments are taken over by industry.

Naqoyqatsi. Through a variety of cinematic techniques, including slow motion, time-lapse, computer-generated imagery, and found footage, the film tells of a world that has completed the transition from the natural to the artificial. Globalization has been accomplished, all of our interactions are technologically mediated, and all images are manipulated.

Hills and valleys : teen depression 1 DVD (16 min.)

Discusses the symptoms of depression, providing information about what a young person can do when feeling depressed, as well as what is normal and how long feelings of depression might last. Strives to draw the distinction between normal and clinical depression.
