A new teaching guide helps you learn how to use movies to teach important life lessons to children and youth.

“Teaching with Movies: A Guide for Parents and Educators,” provides insight, instruction and resources to help adults use any movie as a learning tool.

The guide is produced by F.I.L.M. (Finding Inspiration in Literature & Movies), which is a partnership between the National Collaboration for Youth and Truly Moving Pictures.  F.I.L.M. provides study guides and community service ideas for numerous Hollywood movies.

For example, the most recent addition to F.I.L.M.’s collection is a study guide to use with the movie, “My Sister’s Keeper” starring Cameron Diaz.
