To give you a sense of how our Learning Guides can be used by teachers as lesson plans and by parents to supplement school curriculum or for homeschooling, we have set out below a paragraph from the Learning Guide to Apollo 13.
In 1961, President Kennedy committed the United States to a
program to put a man on the moon by 1970.
His purpose was to provide a clear goal in the American effort to
surpass the Soviet space program. The Apollo program landed
six space ships on the moon beginning with Apollo 11 on July 16, 1969. Three of the missions, Apollo
14, 16 and 17, were extended stays on the surface of the
moon in which the astronauts used a two man Lunar Roving
Vehicle to cross the Moon's surface.
The Learning Guide to Apollo 13 also contains sections on Benefits of the Movie, Possible Problems, Helpful Background, Discussion Questions, Links to the Internet, and Bridges to Reading. The Discussion Questions are divided into three categories: Subject Matter, Social-Emotional Learning, and Moral-Ethical Emphasis.
