My partner teaches English as a Second Language in a local public high school
and she is currently preparing a citizenship section for low level students.
She is looking for good, widely-available videotapes on the early history of
the United States. So far, all she has found at the high school is a really
awful Disney rendering of "Johnny Tremain." Does anyone out there know of
any more realistic portrayals of the revolutionary period that would be
accessable to new speakers of English?
