Making Connections with Contemporary Echoes.
Baker, Bernie
Interdisciplinary Humanities, v12 n3 p23-29 Sum 1995
Describes an interdisciplinary high school course that used contemporary films to illustrate overarching themes in the U.S. experience. Themes included individualism/social responsibility, isolation/internationalism, and liberal/conservative. Emphasis was on conceptual rather than historic relationships (e.g. "Norma Rae" illustrated concepts related to the American Revolution). (MJP)
