Study Guides

Many of the films in the database are accompanied by Study Guides created by the anthropologists and field workers involved on the original films. These curriculum/discussion tools are teaching guides designed specifically for classroom use and are intended to be used concurrently with the films. Ethnographic Film is unique in the sense that the films often are conceived for teaching from the beginning. Study Guides often provide instructors with objectives, questions and activities, vocabulary, and other resources. The Study Guides included here can be downloaded as zip files from the individual item record for the film, where available, and are delivered in PDF format. Users will find the Study Guides, along with the transcripts, release notes, thumbnails just above the work-level record for the film.
