VHS Movie Reviews of Our Friend Martin
Movie Review: Excellent video!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a 2nd grade teacher and have shown this video to my students for the past 3 years. It's an excellent teaching tool and is best watched in a stop and talk format. My students always have questions and I find that if I stop the film and discuss what we have just seen, they can understand the concepts presented. I have shared it with my staff and many have purchased it for their personal video collections.Movie Review: Excellent for the classroom or home
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently showed this video to my 4th grade class and they loved it! They had so many questions after showing it and they could not believe that people were once treated like that in our country. One of them when prompted by a journal starter that asked them if they could go backwards in time, what time would they want to go to said she would like to go back to that time to tell Dr. King to be carefull before his assasination. I hightly recommend it even for high school students.Movie Review: Our Friend Martin
Summary: 5 Stars
It was fabulous! What a wonderful way to interest the young children. The graphics/animation and vibrant colors were visually stimulating for special education students. It used language and clothing on characters that the children could relate to today. I am a teacher with seventeen years experience, will use it in my program, and highly recommend it to other teachers.Movie Review: This movie teaches while being very fun.
Summary: 4 Stars
We watch this movie every year on Martin Luther King Day and the kids take it to school with them. It appears to start out hokey, but give it a few minutes. You will see that it does a great job teaching about Martin Luther King, his life and his principles, despite the fact that it looks like a mediocre cartoon. I recommend this movie for Kindergarteners through 8th graders.Movie Review: Meeting Dr. King
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent use of live-action historical footage mixed with animation. Traces Martin Luther King's influence on American history. Graphic images depicting racist behavior is best viewed with adults. Stellar cast, voices of Oprah Winfrey, John Travolta and others. Impressive. Many children were not aware of the content. "This video taught us to respect other people, not hate each other because of color." "It taught me a lot of history, and it was sad." "I liked when they time-traveled." Best for ages 12 to 18.
