BILL OF RIGHTS: A LIVING DOCUMENT<br />
This program weaves together the past and the present during a<br />
stroll around a colonial estate and Independence Mall in Philadelphia.<br />
Civics experts explore the complexity of individual rights<br />
versus the “common good” in discussions about hate speech,<br />
school newspapers, random drug testing, gun control and terrorism.<br />
Historical segments explain individual bills including Colonial Militias,<br />
Intolerable Acts, Freedom of Worship, Rights of Accused Persons,<br />
and the origins of the idea of individual rights. The end result is a<br />
persuasive argument that the Bill of rights is a vital, living document<br />
and that all citizens share the responsibility to understand, protect,<br />
and uphold it.<br />

CANADA GOOSE STORY, THE<br />
Several decades ago, Canada geese were a rare sight as a result of<br />
diminishing wetland habitat and uncontrolled hunting. By improving<br />
wetland habitat and managing hunting seasons, the Canada geese<br />
have made a great come-back. Geese adapt well to people and<br />
have become common in city ponds, parks, golf courses and other<br />
public places. At first, people welcome geese and feed them which<br />
attracts more geese, then in some instance their abundance causes<br />
problems, especially from messy droppings with potential diseases<br />
coming from them in swimming areas. When there are too many<br />
geese local wildlife management people are often called to help<br />
solve the problem.<br />

continue to be a critical foundation for all life on Earth. How have<br />
simple photosynthetic organisms been able to thrive for such a long<br />
time? They have constantly adapted to changing climates and<br />
surroundings. Further adaptations for thriving on land include<br />
increased efficiency, vascular structures, lignin, broader leaves, root<br />
systems, and evaporation control—all of which are examined in this<br />
video.<br />

conflict skills. In this series, students learn fundamental conflict and<br />
personal skills. The video features a lively cast of puppet characters,<br />

children to teach skills students can apply immediately in their<br />

PROTESTANT REFORMATION, THE<br />
(1517-1565)<br />
By the early 1500s, the Catholic Church was in serious trouble.<br />
Many religious leaders had strayed into materialism, and abuse of<br />
Christian ideals had become widespread. Religious reformers were<br />
undermining the authority of the Pope. The struggle reached a state<br />
of crisis under the leadership of Martin Luther, a brilliant, highly<br />
emotional priest and scholar who, in 1517, posted his now-famous<br />
“Ninety-five Theses” on a church door in Wittenberg, Germany.<br />
Luther’s theses, challenging many established Church practices,<br />
started the Protestant Reformation, a chain of events that would<br />
change forever the character of Western European civilization. This<br />
program, filmed entirely on location in Europe, provides students<br />
with a clear understanding of the causes of the Protestant Reformation<br />
and the social and political changes that resulted from it.<br />

RIVERS OF NORTH AMERICAN SERIES<br />
This new series provides a unique look at the role great rivers have<br />
played and continue to play in the development of a nation.<br />
Beginning at its headwaters and meandering its way through<br />
majestic landscapes, the waters of these great rivers continue to<br />
surge and splash on a path created millions of years ago. Learn<br />
who first settled along its banks, the arrival of the first European<br />
explorers, the ecological impact that comes from the demands on its<br />
waters, the geologic story it embraces and the modern, thriving cities<br />
that have sprung up along its shores.<br />
FVT1203 – Arkansas River– At 1,450 miles long the Arkansas<br />
River is one of the longest rivers in the United States. Its headwaters<br />
originate high above the Rocky Mountains near Leadville, CO.<br />
From there the river journeys through the states of Kansas,<br />
Oklahoma, and Arkansas before finally emptying into the mighty<br />
Mississippi River.<br />
FVT1204 – Colorado River– High in the Rocky Mountains little<br />
creeks and streams form into the headwaters of the Colorado River.<br />
Along the way, the river passes through 5 states, 2 major deserts<br />
and 110 miles of Mexico before emptying into the Gulf of California.<br />
Vital to its surrounding region, the Colorado River is a main water<br />
source throughout the river basin including Southern California.<br />
Today, more than 29 dams have been built on the Colorado River.<br />
FVT1205 – Columbia/Snake Rivers– From the Columbia River’s<br />
headwaters high above the Canadian Rocky Mountains in British<br />
Columbia to the Snake River’s headwaters about nature’s colorful<br />
spectrum in Yellowstone National Park both these rivers travel over<br />
1,000 miles to their final destiny - The Pacific Ocean.<br />
FVT1206 – Connecticut River – Lurking below the peaks of the<br />
White Mountains in Northern New Hampshire, the pristine headwaters<br />
of the Connecticut River travel 407 miles south while its river<br />
basin drains 11,000 square miles making it New England’s largest<br />
river system.<br />
FVT1207 – Hudson River – Though just 315 miles in length, the<br />
Hudson has witnessed and influenced many events throughout<br />
American history. Like a true American legend, this river played a<br />
prominent role during the founding and growth of the United States.<br />
FVT1208 – Indian River & Intracoastal<br />
Waterway – Students of Social Studies learn that the Indian River<br />
of Florida is three kinds of waterways all rolled up into one. A River,<br />
a Lagoon and a water highway best known as the Atlantic Intracoastal<br />
Waterway which passes alongside or through 12 states from<br />
Massachusetts to the tip of Florida.<br />
FVT1209 – Lower Mississippi River – The Great River, The Big<br />
Muddy, Gathering of Waters and Old Man River these are but a few<br />
of the names given to the most storied waterway in all of North<br />
America. The Lower River Valley begins its journey near the<br />
confluence of the Ohio River, which joins the Mississippi at the<br />
southern tip of Illinois.<br />
FVT1210 – Missouri River – From its rather humble beginnings<br />
high in the Rocky Mountains of Montana, the Missouri River twists<br />
and turns for 2,300 miles as it makes its way east. It is the second<br />
longest river in North America and the 500,000 square mile Missouri<br />
River Basin, ranks as one of the country’s largest watershed.<br />
FVT1211 – Ohio River – From its trickling headwaters uniquely<br />
formed at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers<br />
near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the Ohio River begins a journey<br />
vibrant in both geologic and historic significance.<br />
FVT1212 – Potomac River – Though just 383 miles in length, the<br />
Potomac has witnessed and influenced many events throughout<br />
American history. Starting from its sparse headwaters high above<br />
the Allegheny Mountains in West<br />
Virginia the Potomac’s journey is aligned with numerous geological<br />
formations. Its colorful route is peppered with mountains, valleys,<br />
towns, country prairies and most notably America’s capital city – the<br />
District of Columbia.<br />
FVT1213 – Rio Grande River – The Rio Grande is the 3 rd longest<br />
river in the United States and the 5 th longest in North America. This<br />
river travels 1,900 miles through the states of Colorado, New<br />
Mexico, Texas and along the northern border of Mexico before finally<br />
emptying into the Gulf of Mexico.<br />
VT1214 – Sacramento & American Rivers – From their headwaters<br />
high above the Sierra Nevada Mountains, these two rivers are<br />
forever a part of California’s robust history. As the two rivers travel<br />
along California’s picturesque Central Valley terrain, they finally end<br />
their journey near the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco Bay<br />
before emptying into the Pacific Ocean.<br />
FVT1215 – Upper Mississippi River – The Great River, The Big<br />
Muddy, Gathering of Waters and Old Man River these are but a few<br />
of the names given to the most storied waterway in all of North<br />
America. From the north central woods of Minnesota, near Lake<br />
Itasca, the headwaters of this grandiose river begin to shape and<br />
form before traveling 2,300 miles south to the Gulf of Mexico.<br />

Virginia’s Standards of Learning (SOL) for kindergarten through fifth<br />
grade have a high proportion of economics content. However, many<br />
teachers haven’t had a great deal of exposure to content and<br />
teaching methods in elementary economics. These materials are<br />
designed to help classroom teachers to: understand the importance<br />
of students learning economics; understand the role of money in an<br />
economy, as embodied in the K-5 History and Social Science<br />
Standards of Learning; implement appropriate instructional<br />
strategies for teaching the relevant economic concepts; identify<br />
resources available to assist with teaching the identified economics<br />
concepts, and learn how economics can be integrated with other<br />
core disciplines to enhance student learning and increase student<br />
retention of the content learned.<br />

The roseate spoonbills, not to be confused with pink flamingos, are<br />
the captivating pink stars of this production. Tiny pink powder-puff<br />
like young have miniature spoon shaped bills. We follow them<br />

feather hunting, but today are secure in numbers if we can keep<br />
enough wetland habitat where they can feed and nest.<br />

SEASONS IN THE PRAIRIES<br />
This video first takes you through a look at the wild prairies before<br />
the coming of pioneers It then follows the changing cultures and life<br />
styles that led to the prairies becoming important as farmlands<br />
growing different grasses that yielded wheat and cereal grains for<br />
people to eat. People everywhere depend on the prairies that have<br />
now become the breadbasket of North America. Did we save<br />
enough prairie so sharp tail grouse still dance, so antelope and<br />
buffalo can roam and can we still see the profusion of prairies<br />
wildflowers? Some of these questions are answered and some are<br />

SEASONS OF THE WHITE-TAILED DEER<br />
From appealing spotted fawns to regal antlered bucks that tempt<br />
hunters each fall, white-tailed deer are familiar to most people. They<br />
range from southern Canada into South America. Throughout<br />
history deer were a major source of meat for Indians and pioneers<br />
and even today hunters provide venison in many homes. Deer thrive<br />
in new growth areas so as humans have cleared the mature<br />
woodlands. This is one animal that has found more food and cover<br />
in the regrowth areas and grainfields. Generally accustomed to<br />
humans, deer may be found in suburbs, nipping at shrubbery and<br />
gardens. There are more deer in North America today than
at anytime past. Although once severely reduced in population,<br />
careful protection and management with controlled hunting seasons<br />
have made this animal’s story one of success.<br />

UNDERSTANDING, CONTROLLING AND PREVENTING<br />
ANGER<br />
Part One of this program shows that there are two elements of<br />
anger-stress and trigger thoughts—and that angry responses are<br />
often learned from those around us. The program carefully explains<br />
“blamer” and “should” thoughts and helps students understand why<br />
such thoughts are often unrealistic. The program also shows how<br />
anger can seriously harm personal relationships, psychological wellbeing,<br />
and one’s own physical health as well.<br />
Part Two, viewers learn that each individual is responsible for his or<br />
her own thoughts and actions, and that anger-producing thoughts<br />
can be prevented. Viewers see how to stop “trigger thoughts” and<br />
come to understand that they cannot change others. They learn how<br />
to conduct healthy self-talk to control anger. The program then<br />
discusses anger escalation and shows various ways, such as time<br />
outs, inquiries, response choice rehearsals and rechanneling, to<br />
prevent escalation. The program illustrates methods of stress<br />
recognition and management. Breathing exercises, muscle relation,<br />
and physical exercise are featured.<br />

VIOLENCE PREVENTION: WHAT MIDDLE SCHOOL<br />
TEACHERS AND STUDENTS SHOULD KNOW<br />
The most urgent problem confronting education today is how to<br />
prevent our schools from becoming breeding grounds for violence.<br />
This program addresses the problem at the middle school level so<br />
that educators, parents, and students can begin to embrace nonviolent<br />
methods of conflict resolution/crisis intervention at a<br />
manageable stage in a child’s development. The video is designed<br />
to present teachers, workshop leaders, and administrators with three<br />
overall strategies to help students cope with increasingly serious<br />
levels of hostility. The first of these strategies focuses on early<br />
intervention: what students should do to prevent inevitable conflicts<br />
from becoming full-blown crises. The second strategy deals with<br />
how students can diffuse hostile situations once they have escalated<br />
toward violent conclusions. The third strategy involves applying<br />
communication and peer mediation skills when a dispute has<br />
reached an impasse. The video uses very realistic hypothetical<br />
dramatic scenarios in demonstrating the application of these<br />
strategies. It concludes with some helpful tips on how to best create<br />
a positive school environment that fosters cooperation and a sense<br />
of community between students.<br />
