FILM & CURRICULUM: Video Placement Worldwide + Everyone is Different FREE CD

For those of you who don't know about Video Placement Worldwide, they have a pretty cool service where they distribute free educational films to teachers. Some films are made by interesting non-profits, others come from commercial entities looking to shill their wares. No matter the subtext of the film, the materials usually have some solid educational content.

It is free, I always recommend checking VPW materials out and deciding wether or not you'll use them after a good preview.

Everyone is Different - A music CD and activities booklet teaching understanding and acceptance
Sponsor: Forward Face
Grades: 3rd Grade, 4th Grade, 5th Grade, 6th Grade

Everyone is Different is an exciting new educational/musical program about difference: being different, feeling different, and being around others who may seem different. The program consists of a music CD, a songbook complete with music and lyrics, and a teacher’s guide with suggested discussion questions and suggestions for classroom activities.

Each song presents a different aspect of intolerance: how it comes to be, why it happens, where it happens, and how it can be stopped. In actuality, everyone IS different and understanding and not being afraid of other's differences brings a richer experience of life for all students.

The music and lyrics are composed and written for Forward Face by the award winning playwright, composer, lyricist and author, Elizabeth Swados. The songs are performed by young professionals in the theater arts. The music is varied; jazz, rock and roll, ballads, rap and gospel.

Forward Face is a non-profit organization that supports children with facial differences and their families. Forward Face is dedicated to creating public awareness through educational programs dealing with difference.
