Abstract:

Thirteen's Educational Publishing Department prepares educational kits to accompany certain television programming. These guides are available in print and, electronically, as PDFs (Portable Document Format), through the Web. This Teacher's Guide accompanies the program NEW YORK: A DOCUMENTARY FILM. The guide is intended to help use the film as a supplement to junior-high and high-school social-studies courses. Selected activities may also be used in language arts, music, and art classes. Key themes in the guide include governance, public health and other reforms, culture and public policy, immigration and race, economic life, and the role of women in New York City's history. The guide is intended to help students consider questions related to these themes, and to help them use what they've learned about the history of New York as a starting point for finding out more about their own community.
