FROM THE COMPANY THAT WANTS TO HELP STUDENTS
LEARN AND HELP TEACHERS TEACH!

Criterion Pictures/VEC is very pleased to provide to ALL of its participating School/School Board members with FREE access to our newly created TEACHER’S GUIDE section.  Criterion Pictures/VEC has teamed up with TeachWithMovies.com to provide Canadian schools with some rather spectacular feature film resource materials.  These Learning Guides are comprehensive and will provide historical information, literary information, ethical information in relation to Character Education, questions, answers, and in some instances…..complete lesson plans (see FLY AWAY HOME and its lesson plan on MIGRATION) as well as student Handouts. 

For NON-Members:
In order to access these guides through the Criterion/VEC site, you must be a participating member of VEC/Criterion’s Annual Location Public Performance license program. If you are not a member but wish to obtain information, please download our VEC PDF brochure and order form (see below).  Please contact Diana Baudisch (diana@criterionpic.com) for any special offer that may currently be applicable. Our license, combined with these guides, will be an invaluable resource for your teachers.

If you wish to have access to the guides only, please visit www.TeachWithMovies.com now. However, please remember, in
order to show feature films in the classroom, public performance
licensing is a necessary legal requirement
