To give you a sense of how our Learning Guides can be used by teachers as lesson plans and by parents to supplement school curriculum or for homeschooling, we have set out below a paragraph from the Learning Guide to The Pirates of Penzance.
In the 1700s and early 1800s in England (and America), children learned various trades, such as silver smithing, shoemaking or blacksmithing, by becoming an "apprentice" to a man who was an expert in the field. The child would receive food, lodging and training in return for work. The child was said to be "indentured" to the master for a certain number of years. The indenture agreements were often in writing and frequently the term of the indenture was until the child's 21st birthday.
The Learning Guide to The Pirates of Penzance contains sections on the Benefits of the film, Possible Problems, Helpful Background, Discussion Questions, Links to the Internet, and Bridges to Reading. The Discussion Questions are divided into three categories: Subject Matter, Social-Emotional Learning, and Moral-Ethical Emphasis.
