Negative Positive
Title: Sure to please!
Review: Although I read and enjoyed the book many years ago as a middle-schooler, I showed the VHS tape when I was student teaching three Social Studies classes of mixed-ability 5th graders. We watched the film over 2 days, and each day the children were stone silent, glued to their seats. I recommend watching it after you study the American Revolution as the students will get a great deal more out if it. They will have a much better feel for the characters and setting, as well as the events that unfold. In this age of special effects, etc. you will be amazed at how the film captivates!
