Review title: Teacher Accesses Memoirs of a Secret Empire
Product review: My students were thoroughly bored with this film. I tried to elicit their attention by giving some preliminary information; having a short preview and a sort of "what to watch for" information to direct students' attention to what was important in the film. This is essential for 8th graders especially and for educational reasons in particular.We found the film repeated the same information so much that it was wasting our precious class time. Much of the information was interesting; however, it could have been given in a more dynamic manner and in less time by not repeating the same thing about only a few people. Normally, PBS has motivating films that capture my students' attention. We were all disappointed. I will not show this film next year although I have not yet found a substitute that covers the same time span. I need something on ancient Japan from the 600s to the 1600s AD, the rise of military society, shoguns, daimyos, and samurai warriors.
