‘Film gives the history teacher rich opportunity to investigate stories of the past as contestable interpretations, but this is not a simple task. This book provides real help in this mission by providing a practical blend of theory, analysis and teaching program exemplars. This 2nd edition is up-dated and the addition of chapters on foreign films and difficult histories give currency and an international focus and appeal. A must for teachers across all stages of education who wish to motivate, engage and inspire today’s visually-orientated students.’ —Debra Donnelly is Senior Lecturer and Program Coordinator for History Education at University of Newcastle ‘The significance of the 2nd edition of Teaching History with Film goes beyond introducing history educators to the potential and provisos for teaching with the increasing number of historical feature films and documentaries—including foreign films—that are consumed everyday as part of our cultural curriculum. The power of this book lies in how the authors bring together and clearly explicate theory and research with real world case studies of innovative and powerful teaching that illuminate ambitious and authentic ways to facilitate the teaching of historical media literacy in an era where teaching for historical literacy is needed more than ever.’ —David Hicks is Professor of History and Social Science Education in the School of Education at Virginia Tech
