"This book will be written primarily by teachers and for teachers. In other words, we are hoping K-16 practitioners of United States History will find this book as a theory-based, but practical guide for supporting inquiry-oriented instruction through film in the history classroom. A secondary audience for the book could be school districts who may include the text for professional development purpose, as well as college-level teacher educators who would certainly find the book valuable in their social studies methods classes. As an aside, we know each of these audiences well and feel that the text would be well-received given our experiences in the field. With the introduction of the new NCSS C3 frameworks and the focus on ELA Common Core Standards in social studies courses, we expect K-12 teachers to use this book as a guide for developing and implementing inquiry-based classroom experiences that focus on informational texts, reading, writing, and critical thinking more generally, each of which are element found within the Common Core Standards and the "Inquiry Arc" that is the foundation of the C3 framework. Social Studies teacher educators could also use the lessons found in the book as guides for teaching their students how to develop inquiry based lesson plans and for illustrations of historical inquiry as a practical application. Post-secondary instructors, while not under the purview of state and national curriculum guidelines, are nonetheless eager for active strategies in ways that mirror the challenges and opportunities of the K-12 environment. This is especially true for the non-major and in the survey classrooms that all students are generally required to attend"--

"The challenges of teaching history are acute where we consider the world history classroom. Generalized world history courses are a part of many, if not most, K-12 curricular frameworks in the United States. While United States history tends to dominate the scholarship and conversation, there are an equally wide number of middle-level and secondary students and teachers engaged in the study of world history in our public schools. And the challenges are real. In the first place, if we are to mark content coverage as a curricular obstacle in the history classroom, generally, then we must underscore that concern in the world history classroom and for obvious reasons. The curricular terrain to choose from is immense and forever expanding, dealing with the development of numerous civilizations over millennia and across a wide geographic expanse. In addition to curricular concerns, world historical topics are inherently farther away from most students' lives, not just temporally, but often geographically and culturally. Thus the rationale for the present text, Hollywood or History? An Inquiry-Based Strategy for Using Film to Teach World History. The reviews of the first volume Hollywood or History? An Inquiry-Based Strategy for Using Film to Teach United States History strategy have been overwhelmingly positive, especially as it pertains to the application of the strategy for practitioner. Classroom utility and teacher practice have remained our primary objectives in developing the Hollywood or History? strategy and we are encouraged by the possibilities of Volume II and the capacity of this most recent text to impact teaching and learning in world history. We believe that students' connection to film, along with teachers' ability to use film in an effective manner, will help alleviate some of the challenges of teaching world history. The book provides 30 secondary lesson plans (grades 6-12) that address nine eras in world history"--
