Guides

Each study guide or facilitator guide available from California Newsreel is unique to the film it accompanies. In the classroom, in an informal group setting or viewing on your own, our companion materials will help you to make personal connections to the subject matter and examine more closely the issues addressed in these films. Taken together you will get the most out of your viewing experience.


Educators - Many of our guides provide multiple levels of exploration for varying age groups. They can be easily adapted to meet the needs of middle school, high school and college viewers.

Home Viewers - All of our guides may be useful to home viewers wanting to think critically about the film they have seen and get more out of their viewing experience. They are also useful for hosting an informal discussion.
