Two Free Stossel In The Classroom DVD’s! Posted: 16 Sep 2010 05:05 AM PDT
You can request two FREE Stossel in the Classroom DVD’s to use in your homeschool. These DVD’s use segments from John Stossel’s television programs—specially selected by John for your classroom—to spark thoughtful, engaging, curriculum-driven class discussions. 2011 EDITION STOSSEL IN THE CLASSROOM DVD Food Irradiation: Who should we believe when some people tell us food irradiation is bad and others tell us it’s good? Are people who support food irradiation in the pockets of big business? Are the opponents just alarmist kooks? What about the science? What does it show? This segment looks at the debate over food irradiation. Endangered Species: How can endangered species be saved? Why are they at risk of becoming extinct? What’s the solution? This segment questions the commonly accepted solutions and presents a non-traditional answer to the diminishing numbers of certain animal species. Border Patrol: Does America need to build a wall to keep foreigners out? How can the government protect America’s borders? Who exactly is trying to come in, and why don’t some people want them to? This segment looks at the efficacy of building a fence between the United States and Mexico. BEST OF STOSSEL IN THE CLASSROOM DVD: Unintended Consequences: (From the 2008 Edition) Everyday, people are killed and injured. When bad things happen, it’s natural to say, “There should be a law!” But what are the unintended consequences of making more laws? Stereotypes: (From the 2007 Edition) How much do expectations of success or failure influence how students actually perform? John Stossel examines whether a bold experiment from decades ago still holds true today. Food Donation: (From the 2008 Edition) People want to cook meals for the homeless. The government wants food safety. Is there a conflict between these two good ideas? Media Scares: (From the 2008 Edition) The media reports that scary things are happening in the world, but we can’t worry about everything. So what should we worry about? You can also get FREE downloadable teacher’s guides with suggested discussion topics and activities for your classroom to supplement your video segments. Order your FREE Educational DVD’s today!
