Summer will be here before we know it can't wait. You were given the option all expense paid trip. Which would you choose, Disney World and the last one? Six minute trip to space. Or a cabin in the woods, with or without a dog. Let's see, please take moment to answer these the submit button. What you submit tell us the group chat why you chose that answer. I'm gonna open the app. I think I would probably choose the beach. Hands down. OK. So be sure to press them it when you choose your poll selection. I see the 83% attendees have submitted and then tell us in the chat why don't you. Looks like most folks are saying the beach. OK. Wait? OK. And let's get the results shortly. OK, we have OK 29.7% of Daily beach and 40.5% said that Alaskan cruise and 16.2 so they would go to Disney World. And coming in at the end, is the cabin in the woods with eight point 1% and six minute trip to space with five point 4% of you all running to do that. So great. Thank you so much for participating that the webinar will have several polls throughout. OK, so now it's my pleasure to introduce our presenters. We have Jennifer Fisher, director of programs and outreach for journeys and film with Jim Moore Gaffney. You can read their BIOS on the right side of your screen, so thank you so much for joining us today and welcome. Yes, I want to thank you all as well, because I know this is the end of the conference. It's nearly wrapping, so I'm sure many of you have been in many webinars and maybe it's been a long day for you. So thank you so much for joining us. We're really excited to share this webinar on summer of Soul celebrating black history through music and film. If you haven't seen the film yet, it's just phenomenal and and such a rich resource. So we're really excited to share it. It was directed by Ahmir, Questlove, Thompson. Some of you may know him from the roots band and all. In addition to the quote you see here, he also shares in his letter to educators. That's at the beginning of our curriculum. As I made the movie, it became more and more apparent that the film could and should also be a source of education for others. And he's as he says here in this quote. I'm thrilled that this curriculum exists to help the film do its part in explaining our shared American past, and by extension, our present. And it really is such a rich resource. And we're excited to highlight the ways in which this film can be a valuable education tool. So to get us started, just want to open up in the chat box here, moving from, you know, cruises and beach vacations which we all love. But back into the classroom. You know, what are some challenges you have faced as an educator trying to incorporate black history? Into the classroom. I know there's a lot going on in American education right now, especially around this, so we want to hear from you. You know what? Our challenges, maybe what our successes as well that you're having, but we'd really like to hear as we shape this. I'm really excited for Jim Moore to shape this. I know she's such a rich resource on this, and I know she'd love to know what challenges you're facing so she can address them as she shares this curriculum with us today, so. So I'm I'm happy to see what starts to pop in in the chat box integrating it into the allel curriculum. We're integrating it into all curriculum, perhaps as what you mean across across different subject areas, limited resources, yes, and journeys in film we make all of our resources free. It's really important to us so that we know you have limitations and we don't want to be one of those limitations. So we're trying to expand the resources available and keeping them all free, so integrating it to the curriculum, limited resources. Are there any other challenges anyone would like to share to make sure we maybe discuss those today? Give you all a minute. Age appropriate for younger children. That is a really, really important one as well. I know a lot of teachers find valuable picture books, but for that students that express they are not interested in learning about black history, not breaks your heart. Yes, I can see that would be very disappointing and then having to show them why that is important. Lack of resources again, not sure how much to say. Limited resources and time and that's why we also create curriculum that's cross curricular, so we hope you can find ways to slide it in and make it a part of your of your curriculum so we will get an websites being blocked. You know we will get to these things and also you can get a DVD of summer of soul and you can get it for free, so if that is one of your you know things that is making it hard for you to use this resource in your classroom. You can email me and I can connect you to people that will make sure you get a copy of the. I was told about that from our partners at Disney on this film, so we do not want resources to be a challenge in terms of funding for this, even though we know you have limitations on your time. So for our first poll question and our part of it I wanna know, have you seen the film summer of Soul? Yes, I have seen it. Next option I have not seen it yet, but I intend to do so soon or I haven't seen it in hub. No immediate plans to see it. Hoping it's not the third one, because it'd be hard to integrate, but you could use the control without the film if you really had to. And for those of you who have seen it, maybe drop in the chat box. Your favorite musical performance. There are so many fabulous ones in there that it's kind of hard to choose. But while I'm waiting for people to submit those of you who have submitted and are in the category of, I have seen it. If you could share your favorite performances, I would love that. Also, parents are challenged, yes. I'm I'm going to put my my favorite. I really loved Mahalia Jackson and that performance and Nina Simone at the end. Those were two that stuck out for me. But also when Stevie Wonder goes around and sits at the drums. For those of you that have seen it, we don't often see him drumming and he's just. So when those things are like, is this man good at everything? It's just really. Yeah Stevie Wonder Laura also loved that one. Yeah. So many great ones, all the 1960s. Music yes. OK, so most of you have submitted. I'm going to give a couple of more seconds 'cause we're almost at 100% Gladys Knight. Yes, that was a fabulous performance as well. Sly in the family Stone Damour. I know that was really good. So hard to pick. OK, I'm gonna give just I think a few more seconds 'cause most of you have had a chance to and I think some of you might be having a tech issue. And I know Laura will chime in in in the chat box and tell you how to access the poll. So yeah, we're almost at 100%, so I'm gonna go ahead and advance and let's see. OK, so most of you have not seen it yet, but you're planning to do so. I really hope that you will. It's it's such a powerful film that I'll make sure I drop in the chat before we end today. The ways that you have can see it, but it's such a powerful film and we're going to go ahead and see a trailer of it, which really will set the stage for us learning about the film resource today. Are you ready black people? Are you really ready? Are you failing to listen to all the beautiful black voices? The beautiful black feeling, the beautiful black waves moving in beautiful air? Are you ready? Black people are you? Nobody ever heard of the Harlem Culture festival? Nobody would believe it happened. Six weekends of major artists. The Panthers would have security and kids with sitting up on the trees. I was nervous. I didn't expect a crowd like. Something very important was happening. It wasn't just about the music, 1969 was a change of era in the black community. The styles changing music was changing and revolution was coming together. We are a new team. We are a beautiful people. That concert took my life from black and white into color. We wanted progress. We are black people and we should be proud of this. We were coming together to say this was our world and how beautiful it was. It's hard to get it. Don't wait for your neighbor because your neighbor might be waiting for you. We believed in what we felt in here. So when we went let's go let's go do it. I forgot to come off mute. Yes, so we should all be ready and excited to watch this. I'm really excited to introduce you more Gaffney. She is an experienced consultant and organizational strategist with deep expertise advancing equity in K through 12 education and the nonprofit industry. For over 10 years she has turned her passion for diversity, equity and inclusion into programs and events that see transformation. She's also a founding partner at for the Culture and equity and consulting and Culture shift consulting firms. Excuse me there lots of words to get in, and Schumer has worked with us on many of our curriculum resources and she does such a great job. So I'm really happy to turn this over to her and she's going to talk you through the resources that are free and available for summer of Soul. Thank you so much, Jane and hello everyone. We are really excited to share with you all. A little bit about this free and available resource to you, which is the curriculum guide for summer of Soul. I mean, so if you haven't seen the film yet, but many of you plan to see it soon, but just in viewing the trailer like the energy is electric and it is really moving to watch and experience. And we tried really hard to make sure that the curriculum guide was reflective of that energy as well. And so as I talk through some of the lessons today, you know, I, I really can't do it justice for what it will look like. You know, live in your classroom, or virtually as you all work through this really amazing offering. And so, as Jane explained, journeys and film is an amazing organization that works really hard to provide free curriculum guides and other resources for educators looking to work more deeply and intentionally with film. And so this curriculum got first summer of soul is one of many offerings on the website. So this curriculum guide specifically has six lessons, and while it's possible to use all of these lessons, most teachers will either select one or a few to use in their classes, and so this title of lesson one which so I'll just go through each of the lessons briefly here before we dig a little bit deeper into a couple of them, but less than one one is titled putting the festival in context. The history of Harlem. And so this lesson really introduces students to the history of that northern part of Manhattan, and the survey of Harlem History is told through a series of images, which is really cool, and it helps students to observe carefully and formulate different theories or or observations. And the the sort of the imagery will help students to cover English settlement development and urbanization. The Harlem Renaissance. The Great Depression and other events preceding the actual cultural festival where the the film is sort of set. Lesson 2 is titled the music of The Harlem Cultural Festival, and this lesson really focuses on the music of the event itself, which, as you saw from the trailer, is. Fantastic so after identifying certain key elements of sort of music more broadly, students have an opportunity to explore the various genres of music that were presented at the festival and showcased in the documentary so from pre civil war spirituals all the way to more current hip-hop and they work. Try dentify the elements that link the genres together, which I think is really special. And then they also have time to research some of the great musicians. Whose artistry made the music central to American culture generally right? And so then less than three years, titled 1969. Are you a unique year? So this sort of further helps to set the stage for students so that they sort of understand contextually what exactly is happening in Harlem and in the country at the time of of this festival. And so this lesson helps students to understand to understand the events. That concert goers had had they that they had lived through in the previous, you know, decade or so that shaped their response to and gave new meaning to the music itself. As they experienced it. And so you know, many folks on this webinar today. I'm sure you all know that the 60s was a turbulent decade for black Americans. Everything from, you know, the civil rights movement fights for the passage of the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act. The founding of the Black Panther Party. Many assassinations of beloved leaders, and so on, right and? Sort of all of these things, sort of culminating definitely left members of the black community, sort of on edge, and so the concert was an opportunity to rejoice in accomplishments and to feel and experience a sense of affirmation and and community. And so then less than four is titled spending priorities and so in this lesson, students research and discuss government spending priorities. I'm so this wasn't really covered in the trailer, but in the film you may notice that there was a lot of questions around the government decision to spend this amounts of. Taxpayer money on Moon landing rather than using it to address poverty. Rundown infrastructure in the US, particularly in areas considered to be more urban. And so this lesson takes students through a series of activities, including a news broadcast, a formal debate, and a persuasive speech that really allows them to interrogate and investigate the use of government. Pending from again, this sort of more broadly contextual perspective. Lesson 5 is on film in history, and so this is a film literacy lesson that begins with simply viewing the film and reacting to it. Students gain an understanding of the concept of a montage in film making, and they even actually learn to sort of study a group of film reviews. And then they they will end up writing their own analyzing and evaluating summer of soul, which is a really. Really fun creative opportunity for students. And then lastly, lesson 6 is entitled Harlem today. So to conclude the full unit, this lesson brings students to contemporary Harlem to see what changes have occurred since the Harlem Cultural Festival in 1969. So you know, the percentage of native born black population had dropped. Immigration has brought an increase in Hispanic and Caribbean populations and gentrification. Has affected housing costs. And so students were actually sort of research the ways that those things have changed Harlem today. Using the latest census data, newspaper reports, and other resources. And there's also an extension activity that lets students plan a modern day Harlem Cultural festival. And a small tidbit I. I actually wrote. Lesson 6 Harlem today and it was so much fun and I hope that this entire curriculum guide is helpful to you all. As you dig deeper into, you know ways to incorporate this into you all's. Teaching. And so you know, like all of the journeys in film lessons and curriculum guides, each lesson for for this guide includes. These different sections, right? So you have enduring understandings and essential questions. You have notes to the teacher and Common Core standards for each of the lessons, which can be really important for your planning purposes. It has estimated teaching time, any materials needed, as well as assessments, and then you get your step-by-step procedure of how each you know class period should go and you also have handouts with form fields for digital access in our sort of new world, right? Another thing to to note is that with relevant lessons you also get answer keys, so that's just one thing to note as well, because you know, we know that. Teachers are really busy and so to have a curriculum guide or a Lesson plan that's as complete as possible. I'm just helps it a little easier to it. Makes it a little bit easier to integrate it into, you know, a a larger unit and that's our hope for for this curriculum. Guys that you're able to do that. So. We've sort of gone through the full curriculum guide and sort of an overview style. I'm gonna dig a little bit deeper now into lessons three and six. And you'll see the graphic that's displayed here. The curriculum guide in full in addition to. The film really speaks to like the the place and the time of Harlem right? As well as the impact of the actual festival, and so while that's definitely conveyed through the film right, it also is sort of mirrored or parallel through each of the lessons, which is really helpful as well. So for each of them you students get a sense of the time, the place in the field of Parliament, that time, right? But they also get an understanding. Of the sort of short term impacts of the festival and that time, as well as some long-term impacts as well. So let's jump in and take a look at Lesson 3 first. So again, the title for Lesson 3 is 1969, a unique year, and the enduring understandings for this lesson is that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 were important steps in advancing social and political equality. That as African Americans achieved political and social equality correcting economic inequality became a focus. And that African American activism continued past the civil rights movement, which is an important concept for for students to understand. And then the essential questions for this lesson around this sort of very unique year are how did African Americans pursue social, political and economic equality? And how does suburb Soul highlight these efforts? So there's that sort of connection back to the film, and so one thing that you'll notice as you download the full curriculum guide and take a look at each of the lessons is that there are pieces of them that sort of our standalone, right that speak to history or speak to certain skill sets. And then there are pieces that speak directly to the film. And so this lesson in particular is a pretty quick one. The duration of The Lesson could be one or two class periods. And before we go just a little bit deeper into this, I want to. Show a poll question quickly. Yes, so since we're talking about using film in the classroom, who's doing that right? Have you used film in the classroom to teach content and curriculum so you can share with us? Yes, I often you filmed in my classrooms. I use film occasionally in class. I would like to use it, but I'm not sure how to use it effectively. And if that's you, you're in the right place. We're going to help you with that, right? It's what we're doing today or my school does not approve of using film in the classroom, so I'm going to give you a few minutes to answer this. And while you are. More one of the questions that came in the Q&A is what grade and age is? Is this curriculum guide most appropriate for? Yes, I would say that this curriculum guide is most appropriate for grades eight through 12 and Jennifer. Feel free to if if you would modify that, but that's my that's my best thinking around it's grades eight through 12 because of some of the research skills and the media literacy that is assumed as a baseline for these lessons. I think that those grades are able to meet. Competency level. Yes, I think that's a fair assessment. One thing I do want to say though, the first year of the pandemic I was home schooling my 4th and 5th grader and one of the things I loved about the journeys in film curriculums is I could take ones that were for older and pull little bits out and use them with my with my kids even at 4th and 5th grade. So they're really adaptable materials 'cause they're so rich. And I know you guys are gifted teachers so they're really flexible, but I do feel as well that this is really probably the sweet spot is for most of our high school instructors there, so I see about half of you have filled in the poll. You know, while we're waiting for the other half, if you have a favorite film that you've used in your classroom, you could share that with us in the chat box. I'm gonna put in one of mine. Which journeys also has every search for which is the boy who harnessed the wind. But yeah, well, we're just waiting for a little bit more for some people to submit. We're a little over half their on the pole, and if anyone has a favorite film that they use in the classroom, please share it. We're here to learn from you as well. Loving thank you for that, and this would be another film that could pair well teaching, loving, teaching summer. So there's a lot of overlap in a lot of the cultural and social issues happening at that time. Hidden figures. Yes, that's that's our most popular curriculum. Guide is actually hidden figures. We have another person that loves using boy who harnessed the wind. Let's see any others alright? Give a little bit more time. Freedom writers students love using freedom writers. And some of you are struggling with the poll question seeing it and Laura is dropping some tips for you in the chat box. So if you're unable to see the poll question, she's giving you some tips on how you can find it. In the other favorite films, gym, or do you have a favorite film that you used when you were doing classroom or that you talk about a lot in your trainings or events? Yes, definitely love using hidden figures. Which was mentioned in the chat and then another film that I used to use all the time is please vote for me. That's such a great one and we have resources for. Please vote for me as well. That's good for civics, just mercy, which is another wonderful film for the classroom and we have an independent student learning for that. Slavery by another name is a PBS resource that we're giving a shout out toward. Great. I love seeing what you all are using in the classroom. We're almost 3/4 of the way there on submission, so just a few more seconds to see if we can get some more answers in there. I'm definitely eager to see your responses. Yes, and Peggy is reminding us boy who harnessed the wind is on Netflix. Yes, Sarafina it's another one. For classroom use. I used to teach music and I would use sometimes just pieces from movies and we would use from Selma that that key song, which of course it's a long day. My brain is not coming, but it's a great song to analyze in the classroom because it's got so much there so much there. The debaters glory you guys have. Some great ones. Am I gonna? Great great Selma yes. Alright, I'm gonna go ahead and see the results, 'cause I'm not sure how much further we're going to get on them, but we're almost all the way there, so let's see. So the majority of you use film occasionally in the classroom, which I think is probably the case for most teachers. Almost a third of you are using it often in the classroom. We'd love to see that if it's used effectively, 22% of you would like to use it more, but you don't know how to use it effectively. So we're really glad that you're here. And unfortunately, 6% of you your schools do not support that, so again, something you can use these resources without the full film if you, if that's something you need to adapt for your classroom and just show short clips or give the context of the performers. Or the time? So there's definitely a lot of strategies, and these these resources are so flexible. Yes, so still talking about lesson 3 here, which is sort of centered around the year 1969, and so there is a really useful handout for students to use where they are sort of reading about researching and synthesizing information around some of the major events in African American history up to that time. And so for some of these events, such as Malcolm X leaving the Nation of Islam. The Voting Rights Act of 1965. And the formation of, or the founding of, the student. Nonviolent Coordinating Committee or snick right for each of these students will sort of look at and examine The Who, what, where, when and significance of these things. And they also take a look at and investigate the impact that these events had, or the ways that it showed up in the film summer and so summer of soul. And so. It's recommended that you know this lesson be completed either in a physical library as a research activity, or if you're virtual as an Internet search activity, just so that students have access to the right search mechanisms and so following sort of talking through the the really useful handouts, right? There's this class discussion that really centers around two key questions being in what ways? Were young people at the forefront of change during the civil rights movement in the period that followed, which is something that I love talking about or just like the power of of young people, really resonates with students but also just like the reality that across many social justice movements, young folks were sort of at the forefront of of change. And then a second question for discussion is around. What were some of the most important factors that led to the development? Of the black power movement in the mid 1960s. And so again, these conversations and this research really helps students to like gain a more contextual understanding of not only you know why the cultural festival happened, why it was important to folks, but also like why so many people came, you know, and what, what? What were some things that they could have been sort of searching for or hoping to gain from that experience? And so, in addition to the sort of main aspects of lesson 3, there are also several extension activities that are offered as part of this lesson that include exploring the writings of Lorraine Hansberry, especially her autobiography, to be young, gifted and black to have students learn more about protest songs, especially by sort of investigating the music and the recordings and the lyrics of Nina Simone and Gil's at her own. And then you could also have students write an essay using the prompt with themes and summer of soul are still relevant to our current time period. Which I think is a really good strategy when working with films that are emphasizing different historical moments is thinking about what themes are still coming up or showing up for students today or for the country or the world today. I think it's a really good tie for lots of folks and lots of students. So that is less than three. I want to now go to the chat here so we have a chat question for you all. So after hearing about sort of all six of the lessons very briefly and sort of hearing now a little bit deeper about Lesson 3. Where might this film fit into your curriculum? And what grade levels would you feel would be appropriate? So feel free to type those responses in the chat. Where might this fit into your curriculum? And what grades are you hoping to use this with? So we're seeing music and civics in middle school. That's yeah. Now I'm wishing I was teaching music in the classroom because I would have loved this tool. I'm not doing that anymore, but I'm like, oh, would have been so much fun to use this film in my music classroom. Ah, I'm, Sonia says I work with younger children, but I can see using this with adult learners. That's a really excellent point. I think that this would be a great resource for adult learners. And as Jen said though, you work with younger children. There are. Pieces that you can certainly take from different aspects of the curriculum guide to incorporate into your work with your younger, younger kids and also the film itself is just so lively that I think that it would that parts of it could definitely resonate with younger children as well. Birth to five OK very young. You could play a few the performances then and get them dancing with it. I think they would love that. Incorporate into movement you know they have like little baby gym. Dance party party. Yeah high school and and advisory sessions would be a great use. Use for that for sure, absolutely. Yeah. HFT organizer Days Party is an incentive. Yes for sure. Well thank you all so much for engaging us in the chat. So I'm going to move us to lesson 6 which is the 2nd lesson that I'll talk a little bit more about. And so this lesson is titled Harlem today. And some of the enduring understandings from this lesson is that the demographic and cultural makeup of Harlem has changed significantly since the Harlem Cultural Festival took place in 1969, that the demographic and cultural changes in Harlem have had an economic impact on many families living in New York broadly. And that there are both pros and cons associated with the changes that have occurred to make Harlem what it is today. And some of the essential questions for this lesson are, what? What are the changes actually that have happened in Harlem since 1969? And what are some of the causes of those changes? And then, finally, how might we describe the current culture of Harlem and that question, I think is really important as it provides this sort of contrast a little bit too like the the culture that's shown in the film is very specific. In very palatable, throughout right. And so I think it's important to have that question of will, what how would we describe, or how might we sort of view or see or interpret the current culture of Harlem? And so this lesson is a little bit longer and the suggestion the suggested duration is 3 to four class periods. And so in this lesson I'm going to go to the next slide here. In this lesson, students begin by reviewing different perspectives on gentrification to understand its causes and effects, and they use that understanding to frame their research of what Harlem looks like today. And, as I mentioned before, they do this using data from the most recent census of local housing and neighborhood sources and commentary from a national perspective to help them to get a clearer picture of how Harlem has changed. Since 1969, and so students will then write an essay outlining the pros and cons of the changes that have occurred, and so for the essay portion of this. So after they've sort of gathered their research and sort of contextual understanding, it suggests that you give students an option or a choice to to write a traditional 5 paragraph essay to take a narrative approach and write maybe a journal entry from the perspective of a former or current resident of Harlem. Or they could write an op Ed newspaper column on the topic as well. And so this lesson, I think, could be really great again for high school age students, it feels really relevant for both as either a civics or a Gov government class or even history or or English because of the writing and research components. And there is a really fun extension activity for this lesson that allows students to be creative and come up with a proposal. For a Harlem cultural festival that represents Harlem today and so you know there's a handout associated with this extension activity that lets students sort of pick group up and think about all the different aspects of you know where. Where would we hold the festival? Who are The Who were the musical guests? Be? What kind of food would we offer? What were the vendors be? Maybe? What might social media coverage look like? And things like that? And then students are encouraged to also sort of take their plan or their proposal that they put together and then use that to create promotional materials such as Flyers, or maybe to plan a social media campaign etc. And so really love. Sort of the flexibility flexibility of this lesson as well as many of the others in that it definitely combines like a creative spirit with some of those more concrete research skills. And so that is lesson 6 and we have another chat question for you. So now having sort of seen a little bit deeper into lessons three and six. Curious of why you think this film which you know is about events that took place more than 50 years ago, be particularly relevant today. So what are some of the pieces you think really feel relevant or could resonate with folks today? Feel free to type those into the chat. When one thing that I'm thinking of is folks are typing in their responses is sort of the culture of music, festivals and cultural festivals. Right now it's like a huge part of our culture, and so I think that it'll definitely resonate with students in a particular way, as many of them may have already attended a festival like this, right? And that could have, and it could have been a community, local or. I wanna like larger ones, you know. Also, seeing in the chat. Music and cultural influence change the perspective of adults who were fixed in the 1930s. The times we are in and how music elevates and music is still a great way to unify people around certain issues. Absolutely. Definitely. Yeah, these are all great responses and I agree. Alright, so I'm going to pass it to Jenn, who is going to talk you through how to access not only this curriculum, but other journeys and film projects as well. Yes, so as we both mentioned, all of our resources are free and so I'm gonna share my screen. Hopefully that works and show you how you can get our resources and I'm going to put our website in the chat in case you don't have it already. Journeys in film.org and when you go there it's we make it pretty easy, but I'm going to walk you through it. So when you go to our website, can everybody see that Jim or can you answer so I know that we can see it. Yes, I can see it. OK so you can see we've got lots of options here. I would go to library because when you go to the library you can see all of our resources and you can group them by subjects. But you see the different subjects we have and buy themes as well. So we want to make this work for you. But today we're talking about summer, so I'm going to show you how to get that resource. So I'm scrolling down. And here I see summer of salt. You can do a quick one and just click this add to cart that came out, but I'm going to walk you through the whole thing so you understand. So when you get here you can watch the trailer. You can Click to buy the movie, so that's the movie, not the resource. Or find out how to stream the movie which is streaming on Hulu and Disney plus. And you can see a preview of the curriculum guide and what all of the lessons are. So we really want you to be able to add a glance quickly. See the lessons there, subject areas and preview it if you would like. We also show you other related lessons that might interest you. But if you add this to your cart, which I've already added a bunch to my cart, but if you add this to your cart. Then you're going to want to go up to the cart in the right hand. The top of the corner, and you can just click checkout. Or you can view your card. See what's in there. So I've really loaded my card at and you're going to proceed to checkout. And the one thing you do have to have is a journeys in film account. But again, the account is free and it's easy. You enter a ZIP code and email address and a password, and once you've done that, or you've already got an account, once you log in, then you can just place your order and it's telling me to enter my information. I'm not going to do all that for you right now, but you placed the order and then you will get these items directly into your email like you'll just get a PDF of all of these items. So all of those items will come into your inbox. OK, and you'll just get a PDF of all of them again with the form fields. It's really simple and like I said, if you want the film right now and it's out of your budget to use one of those streaming platforms or those aren't allowed in your classrooms or you cannot afford the DVD which is on sale in Amazon right now, and putting that in the chat box. But if that's a challenge we have heard from our partners that they can provide films for free. So I put my email in the chat box as well so you can just email us and boom, there it is. We will make sure you get a copy we really want you to use these films. Does anyone have questions? I try to do that quickly 'cause we're on a clock and I want time for other questions, but does anyone have questions about finding the resources or about this resource in particular? Let me give you a minute to type any of those questions in and also let you know that on our website we have over 300 lessons. All of them are free. And you can access them at anytime and you can always reach out to me directly with any questions or connect with us across all social media using at journeys and film. I'm also dropping in the chat box a couple of our favorite resources that are related, so if you're teaching this, you might also find hidden figures of interest or just mercy. I know those are very popular for people that have been interested in teaching summer of soul, so I'm going to make it easy for you and put those links right in our chat box as well. Does anyone have any questions about that or other questions for us about this lesson? We are going to share some additional resources as well, but I just want to give a few more seconds for any other questions. Great, but I'll jump in here 'cause I know we're looking at the time and to let folks know that we are going to have a bit of time for the circuit in a section. So if you have questions for presenters having to do with the content that they provided or how to access the movie, please submit them through the Q&A widget or type it in the chat. Just kind of funny. I have seen this movie in my Hulu queue for hasn't been out for maybe a year. And I haven't found the time to sit down and watch it. And then I signed up to moderate this webinar and I'm like I definitely have to watch it now. I'm really excited to get in there, so I will be watching it on Hulu or Disney plus. And hopefully I can get my 9 year olds to watch it too. 'cause I love quest last Nite Simone. Yeah it is. It is really fantastic and the and the music. The performances are are moving and so then you know it's just like when you add on top of this already amazing film you know this really helpful resource of a curriculum guide. It's really it's really fantastic and so just quickly wanted to share a couple of the resources that we've gathered for you. And this is also available if you click on the resources tab on for our webinar page that has the clickable links and so just have like sort of a clarifying article on what is critical race theory and why is it under attack and so we wanted to share that and lift that up for educators. Just given all the things that are going on right now in you all industry and then for you to have this sort of level setting source that actually speaks to sort of the what is right and and and doesn't necessarily focus on sort of the noise of you know different agendas right in that. It's really important that educators and teachers feel empowered to to teach accurate accounts of history. And then we also have a few Instagram accounts. If you are an Instagram person like me that you want to follow different accounts, like what kindergarten and teachers for black lives, there's lots of resources that are out there and that are shared over Instagram and. Tick tock. Really, all social media, but in particular Instagram has a really good really good amount of resources and ideas. And then there are tons of archived episodes of Pod. Save the people that were, you know if you have the extra time to listen in while you're driving, it really helps to give like a really dig really deep dives into different social and political things going on that pertain to. Education and teaching. And then lastly really cool article on teaching black history and culturally responsive ways. So these are the additional resources if you're interested in continuing your learning beyond this curriculum guy. Thank you so much Jim Moore and and if you all have we have like maybe one or two minutes for questions. So if there's any questions that haven't been addressed yet that people would like to chime in on and please do share those with us and. I know a few of you might.
