For most chapters we will present four links: 1. Making Real World Connections, 2. Thinking and Talking about Books, 3. Links to Helpful Web Sites, and 4. Connecting Books and Films. Ken Donelson, a lover of films-old and new-is responsible for the descriptions in the Film Boxes. For ideas on how to use the films, see the textbook pages 353 and 355, along with Appendix D: A Brief Bibliography on Films Generally and on Transformations of Print into Film. We have found Netflix <A HREF="http://www.netflix.com/Default" TARGET="_blank" >http://www.netflix.com/Default</A> an efficient way to order DVD's of most of the recommended films.</P> <P>We are suggesting more activities than any one student will have time to do, and more discussion topics than can be fitted into a class. It will be up to you and your teacher which of our suggestions you choose to follow. Perhaps your teacher will ask for student volunteers to be responsible for doing some of the work to make real world connections or for preparing panel presentations on the topics suggested for particular chapters. However you go about it, we hope you enjoy reading the textbook and even more reading the wonderful new books now being published for young people. </P> <br> <p /> <ul> <li> <a href="/ab_donelson_litfortoday_7/23/5921/1515839.cw/sitenav/index.html">Site Navigation</a><br /> <li> <a href="/ab_donelson_litfortoday_7/23/5921/1515839.cw/leftnav/index.html">Navigation for Student Resources</a> <ul> </body>
