POV: For Educators

Since 1988, POV has brought together over 400 documentaries that offer articulate and compelling narratives about contemporary social issues. On this page For Educators, the users will find more than 100 standards-aligned lesson plans, dozens of discussion guides, and a number of reading lists all assembled to compliment the PBS film series. For example, the materials that accompany the documentary, "Ai Weiwei: The Fake Case," include an overview of the lesson, objectives, subject areas for which the lesson might be used, and ten film clips, as well as a ten step activity that includes small groups in which students discuss activism in their own communities. There are also links to news stories and other Internet resources about Chinese activists and resources that help students understand different kinds of activism and what they mean in the political landscape. Other lessons focus on documentaries about mental illness, human trafficking, war news, the rituals of tea in various cultures, and numerous other topics.
