Give your classroom a creative kickstart with our new warm-up series: Watch and Write!

What you get: a super-short film plus a prompt for writing or discussion. The films are as short as one minute. The themes span the curriculum. (Yes, STEM teachers, there are short films for your classes, too!)

This is a great way to get students engaged and focused. It's also a fun creativity booster for writing groups or individual writers.

We see that Antisemitism is in the headlines again. We created a resource specifically for teaching about contemporary Antisemitism & its ties to white supremacy. The lesson uses recent, high profile examples from the US but the framework can be adapted for any country. Recommended for grades 9-12, higher ed & adult ed. Get it as part of our Schindler's List film guide or download it as a standalone lesson.

Like all of our resources, this lesson is free for everyone.
