Film has become a cultural staple across the world. As with
literature, film can be used to inform, entertain, inspire critical
thinking, educate, and more. As such, it is a useful tool to
implement in the classrooms of all levels and subjects. It is
essential to explore the implementation of film in classrooms and
the multiple teaching methodologies surrounding it. Enhancing

curricular connections, and composing through film. It examines

and post-secondary classroom instruction from a multidisciplinary
perspective. Covering topics such as critical cultural awareness,
literacy education, and film pedagogies, this premier reference
source is an essential resource for preservice teachers, teacher
educators, faculty and administrators of both K-12 and higher
education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.

The rationale for the present text, Hollywood or History? An
Inquiry-Based Strategy for Using Film to Teach About Inequality and
Inequity Throughout History stems from two main things. First and
foremost is the fact that the reviews of the first two volumes in
the Hollywood or History? series have been overwhelmingly positive,
especially as it pertains to the application of the strategy for
practitioners. Classroom utility and teacher practice have
continued to be the primary objectives in developing the Hollywood
or History? strategy. The second thing is that this most recent
volume in the series takes it in a new direction--rather than
focusing on eras in history, it focuses on the themes of inequity
and inequality throughout history, and how teachers can utilize the
Hollywood or History? strategy to tackle some of the more
complicated content throughout history that many teachers tend to
shy away from. There is a firm belief that students' connection to
film, along with teachers' ability to use film in an effective
manner, will help alleviate some of the challenges of teaching
challenging topics such as inequity and inequality in terms of
gender, race, socioeconomic status, and so much more. The book
provides 30 secondary lesson plans (grades 6-12) that address nine
different topics centered around inequity and inequality throughout
history, many of which connect students to the world we are living
in today. The intended audience for the book are teachers who teach
social studies at the 6th-12th grade level both in the United
States and other countries. An additional audience will be college
and university social studies/history methods professors in the
United States and worldwide.
