My name is Darren, I recently finished my Bachelor of Education degree at the University of Alberta with a Major in Social Studies and a Minor in Physical Education. Up until this point, I have focused much of my teaching strategy around finding material in the popular media that could spice up the subject to Jr.High and Sr.High students. I cannot vouch for every Social Studies Program of Studies, but the one here in Alberta is pretty dry.
What I have been doing is finding these TV Shows, Music, and Movies and Editing out the irrelevant/inappropriate material. Since I am currently an unemployed new teacher waiting for a contract or interview. I have found myself with a lot of time to look for new resources.
So far, I have found some quality resources including the following Shows:
-Futurama
-The Simpsons
-Family Guy
-South Park
-How I Met Your Mother
-Robot Chicken
If You have anything to add, I would Love to hear from you!
