This semester I have the privilege of not only teaching high school history to my two children but several other inspiring teens. I am seeking your suggestions regarding videos to blend with the weekly reading assignments and class discusssion (we are beginning to study the fall of Rome and the Middle Ages). Due to time constraints I plan to only play about 10-15 minute clips of video. I found several on-line videos from the History Channel, but prefer less violent graphics. The Lerner-Anneberg Foundation offers free on-line educational videos (Wester Civilization lectures displaying over 2700 art pieces from the Metropolitan Museum of Art) but the half-hour lectures are, well, rather dry. Any suggestions/opinions/experiences would be very much appreciated!
