This online program is the perfect educational companion to the epic cinematic event THE ALPS. The media is available online (see link). "Journey through the Alps" is a one-hour educational companion to the MacGillivray Freeman film The Alps. The companion, designed for middle and high school students, is accessible via the Internet at no cost. An accompanying teachers' guide facilitates its incorporation into a wide range of classroom settings, making it a great way to extend the cinematic experience.
Guiding students throughout their journey is mountaineer John Harlin, the film's hero, whose powerful family history, and endless passion for the mountains, provides students with a compelling 'hook' into this complex but rewarding story. In the end, John reminds them that despite how far we've come in conquering the Alps, the peaks will always call out to people who want to escape the fast-paced world, and try to overcome nature's awesome power.
