The West: Curriculum Package.
Public Broadcasting Service, Alexandria, VA.
This document consists of the printed components only of a PBS curriculum package intended to be used with the 9-videotape PBS documentary series entitled "The West." The complete curriculum package includes a teacher's guide, lesson plans, a student guide, audio tapes, a video index, and promotional poster. The teacher's guide and lesson plans introduce the video series and provide objectives, video questions, and activity suggestions. The student guide has hands on activities that encourage students to act as historians and filmmakers and encourages them to tell a historical story of the West through film. Audio tapes share interviews with producer Ken Burns, series producer/director Steven Ives, and series co-writer Dayton Duncan. The video index comprises two indices--a subject index and an alphabetical index. Finally, a promotional poster shows the cast of Buffalo Bill's original 1885 Wild West Show. (RJC)
