Zeezok Publishing’s z-guides are a great way to incorporate media into your social studies curriculum. Designed for the high school student, the Mr. Smith Goes to Washington guide builds upon the film’s theme of a crusading senator’s stand for truth. With the help of his secretary, freshman Senator Jefferson Smith stages a filibuster in a valiant effort to expose the corrupt Taylor political machine’s influence on Washington D.C. politics. A "David vs. Goliath" classic based on the timeless theme of liberty and justice for all, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington should be required viewing for every American citizen.
This z-guide contains a topic overview, movie synopsis, and ten learning activities for an in-depth study of the film and Congressional procedures. Learn more about the filibuster with our guided research project. Develop your writing and debate skills, produce an art project, complete a crossword puzzle, and review the process of how a bill becomes law. Probe the director’s mind with The Filmmaker’s Art activity, and get the entire family involved with the "For Family Discussion" section at the end of the guide. Choose those activities which best fit your student’s course objectives, areas of interest, or time schedule. Note: Popcorn and movie not included.
