Google: "Frontline and Documentary" Google will take you to links for documentaries for all aspects of life imaginable. Some documentaries are prohibited for use in a NYC classroom.

Once your documentary is approved, you may have to "convert" it to a format that can be played using the computer in the classroom.

NOTE: The overall selection process requires time and planning. DO NOT HAPHAZARDLY SELECT YOUR FIRST TOPIC OF INTEREST.

"Should I work on the project alone or Should I work with others?" Be advised that the grading of the project will certainly be more involved if you decide to work in a group.

SPECIFIC DOCUMENTARY PROJECT GUIDELINES WILL FOLLOW SHORTLY. SOME TIME THIS WEEK WE WILL ANALYZE A VISUAL ARGUMENT (documentary) AS A CLASS.
