February 2006

---------------------------------------------------------
NEW TEACHER'S GUIDE FOR "THE METH EPIDEMIC" (ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED FOR
JANUARY)
---------------------------------------------------------
Due to the president's State of the Union address, FRONTLINE's broadcast
of "The Meth Epidemic," an investigation of how methamphetamine has
ravaged communities across America, will air on most PBS stations on
Tuesday, February 14 at 9pm (check local listings). An accompanying
teacher's guide will feature a lesson that helps students become
familiar with the history of meth use, the impact that it has on the
user and the community, and the difficulty in treating meth addiction.

Questions include: What changes occur in the lives of meth users? Why
are treatment programs for meth addicts less successful than programs
for other drug addictions? What responsibilities do the pharmaceutical
companies have in the spread of meth use? How and why have politics
influenced the meth epidemic?

"The Meth Epidemic" teacher's guide will be available at the FRONTLINE
Teacher Center ( http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/teach/ )
immediately following the broadcast.

-----------------
UPCOMING TEACHER'S GUIDE: "THE INSURGENCY"
-----------------
On Tuesday, February 21 at 9pm (check local listings), FRONTLINE
explores the battle for one Iraqi town and presents vivid testimony from
civilians whose families were targeted by insurgents who continue to
challenge the most highly trained and best-equipped military in the
world. The film features special access to insurgent leaders and the
commanders of Iraqi and U.S. military units battling for control of the
country, and detailed analysis from journalists who have risked their
lives to meet insurgent leaders and their foot soldiers.

The FRONTLINE teacher's guide for "The Insurgents" will help students
understand the nature of the insurgency and how it has metastasized
since the U.S. invasion of March 2003.

Questions include: Are the insurgents that are part of the war on terror
Baath party members fighting for a return of the old regime, or are they
freedom fighters struggling to create a new Iraq? Is Iraq engaged in a
civil war or is the violence primarily the work of jihadists determined
to make Iraq a new Muslim Caliphate?

This teacher's guide will be of particular interest to World History,
Social Studies, American Government, and Current Events educators, and
will be available at the FRONTLINE Teacher Center
( http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/teach/ ) immediately following
the broadcast.

------------------------------
USING FRONTLINE IN THE CLASSROOM
------------------------------
FRONTLINE films can be taped and used as a classroom resource for up to
one year after the original broadcast. Teacher Center materials featured
on the FRONTLINE Web site ( http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/teach/ ) can be photocopied for educational purposes. All other rights reserved.

“America on the Move explores the role of transportation in American history.”

Site also contains tabs for the Exhibition, Themes, Learning Resources, Games, and more.

Electronic Field Trips
In two 30-minute shows designed for grades 4–8, curators and students look at how immigration and migration impacted American history and at the role of various forms of transportation.

In the first show, “Migrations, Immigrations, and How We Got Here,”
( http://smithsonian.tv/videos/nmah/aotm/2004-04-30_americaonthemove1.htm ) curators give a tour of the exhibition. In the second, “Creating Stories,” ( http://smithsonian.tv/videos/nmah/aotm/04-11-17_AmericaOnTheMove2.htm ) the curators share secrets of how they develop the individual stories presented in exhibitions. Then they help students who are creating their own family stories by analyzing objects, documents, and other resources.
