Fooling with Words with Bill Moyers : Teacher's Guide

WNET's Educational Publishing Department prepares educational kits to accompany certain television programming. These guides are available in print and, electronically, as PDFs (Portable Document Format), through the Web.

This Teacher's Guide accompanies the program FOOLING WITH WORDS WITH BILL MOYERS. The Teacher's Guide introduces students to the magic of the written -- and spoken -- word. Teachers may assign the program to their students for viewing when it is first broadcast, or you have the right to tape the programs and play them for instructional purposes for one year after the original broadcast. Videocassettes of FOOLING WITH WORDS, the two-hour special, and SOUNDS OF POETRY, the nine half-hour programs, are available through Films for the Humanities and Sciences by calling 1-800-257-5126 or by visiting their Web site at www.films.com.
