Q #1: Many teachers across the country are noticing the importance of film in the modern classroom. No longer is putting a movie on meant as an invitation for students to check out while the teacher does work at their desk. Films are a versatile medium, and can function as textbooks, pieces of literature, or pieces of art that can bring a new dimension to a student's learning. The teachers leading this charge know that teaching a film effectively means preparing lessons with the same amount of time and effort as any other days. A teacher could simply shut the lights and throw on the first 20 minutes of Steven Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan" because the class is studying World War II. Or, the teacher could spend a class period analyzing the scene with the class, looking at how Spielberg builds anxiety and tension, how he creates the chaos of the beach, and how he gets the audience to care for characters they haven't even met yet. Which of the following sentences would be a supporting detail to explain how "Saving Private Ryan" could be used in the classroom?
A. learning to analyze a film in this way can not only help students get more out of their viewing, but it can also help them work on their critical thinking skills
B. just putting "Saving Private Ryan" on the screen and then getting work done in the back of the room is not a helpful way to use a film in class
C. too many teachers are stuck in their ways, though, and unwilling to adapt.
D. "Jaws" would also be a good movie that a teacher could use in the classroom
Answer Explanation
Learning to analyze a film in this way can not only help students get more out of their viewing, but it can also help them work on their critical thinking skills

Q #2: Before you begin cooking, make sure you have a clean skillet, bowl, cutting board, and knife. Dice the jalapenos, cilantro, onions, and tomatoes.

Pour in 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and heat at medium high heat. Add in the ground beef and two cloves of minced garlic. Season with generous amounts of chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and fresh ground black pepper. Once the meat begins to brown, add two cloves of minced garlic. After the meat has cooked through, remove the mixture from the stove. Heat your tortillas in the same skillet you cooked the meat in if you like your tortillas crispy.

Q #7: Delaying their initial entry to school can cause some children to actually fall behind their peers in learning. Some studies have shown differing early childhood academic achievement results when comparing children from low-income families with those living in middle-income homes Children from low- income homes tend to begin school with weaker skills than their peers from more advantaged backgrounds.
