Abstract: The article reports the results of research that investigated which features films teachers are using to teach the history of the U.S. to high school students, and how and why they are using these films. The authors note that documentary films are not considered in their analysis because they are often created for different purposes and use different techniques. Instead, they used the terms feature film and Hollywood film to refer to movies commercially made for a mass audience for entertainment and profit. They add that information from the research provide an understanding of the practices of a group of teachers in using film as a resource and of the potential impact on their classrooms' history curriculum.
