KidFilm is a TEKS based visual arts program that brings classroom books to life on the big screen. A majority of films are book-based works (that can be found in your school library) designed to help reinforce literacy skills and includes a variety of classroom topics such as the arts, math, social studies, the environment, discrimination, historical events, and other curriculum topics, human themes, etc. Some of our most popular films include MATH CURSE (Math), ABE'S HONEST WORDS (History and Ethics), GRACE FOR PRESIDENT (Citizenship and Government), MARTIN'S BIG WORDS (History, Civil Rights Movement, Prejudice), CRAZY HAIR DAY (Compassion and Teamwork) and THE SUN IS KIND OF A BIG DEAL (Science and Solar System). Students will receive a compilation program of 4-6 short films that are curriculum interactive, relevant, and entertaining!
Based on the TEKs objectives, we have planned an entire curriculum/lesson plan for the teachers -- with all materials included! Teachers are provided with a STUDY GUIDE at the program that includes lesson plans, activities based on each film, and discussion questions (including but not limited to questions that require the student to identify the story's main idea, literary elements, character motivations and qualities, important historical figures and their impact, etc). Additionally, students will be encouraged to journal their thoughts regarding the films while analyzing the messages in each film. Before the program, teachers will be provided with the list of films to be presented (if you would like to read the books in the classroom before the show -- though this is not necessary).
