(NAME-MCE) Traces of the Trade

[Julie Mushing]

I was able to attend a screening last March – don’t miss it, very powerful.  Here are some resources:
Traces of the Trade documentary is available for schools to purchase:
http://www.newsreel.org/nav/title.asp?tc=CN0222 (cost $49.95)
P.O.V. (point of view) documentaries can be recorded off-the-air and used for educational purposes for
up to one year from the initial broadcast. In addition, P.O.V. offers a lending library of
DVD’s and VHS tapes that you can borrow anytime during the school year — FOR FREE!

Your media center could record the program when it airs on local PBS stations!

Julie,

Thank you so much for the opportunity to be a part of the special screening of Traces of the Trade.  I think this film with the following dialogue could be a powerful teaching tool for our students.  I hope it can become available for school use soon.

Thank you,
Betsy Ernst
