Much Ado About Something

FRONTLINE documentaries and Web sites are a valuable resource for teachers and students of current events, history, government and public policy. Here, in the FRONTLINE Teacher Center, we offer lesson plans and activities for middle school and high school teachers that are designed to take up no more than one or two classroom periods. Please read the Frequently Asked Questions for more information on using FRONTLINE materials in the classroom, taping rights, or purchasing videotapes.
