I have always enjoyed the programming on PBS; for pure entertainment, I love the British comedies. As a teacher, I utilized many PBS programs to bring real-life events to my students and to generate both discussion and writing, and was happy to find my local library had a good selection of PBS programming and guides available for checkout if I missed taping a show. Now PBS offers teacher resources via a website http://www.pbs.org/teachers/ One of my favorite features is the subject area search. Simply click on one of the subject areas, select a grade level and specific topic area to bring up a list of lessons. These lessons include a comprehensive description, so it's easy to see right away if it will include what you want without wasting time reading through additional pages. Also included are websites, books, and other resources that enhance the lesson. Not all lessons are based on PBS programming, so DVDs, etc. are not required.
