TEACHER’S RESOURCE GUIDE AND MATERIALS

As a classroom aid for teachers and as a guide for those students doing research - we have posted various resources on this website.  We have also developed an extensive bibliography and some links to other online resources. Here is a summary of what is currently available online:

WEBSITE (GENERAL)

  • The PRESS page has press coverage of the film.  It also has biographies of cast and crew, synopses of the film and some historical background on Leimert Park.
  • The BIOS page also includes biographical sketches of the people in the film and of the crew. 
  • The MORE INFO page has links to websites of people & places in Leimert Park.

BIBLIOGRAPHY

For further research in a number of areas, we have also included a rather informal bibliography that is grouped into sections. At the top, we have included a listing of other Los Angeles community-based arts organizations and/or movements that might be of interest. The first sections are listings that focus on Los Angeles in particular, and then they move on to more general areas of art & music.  At the end, we have included some suggested films, both fiction and documentary.

LINKS TO OTHER RESOURCES

This webpage provides links and a brief description of other online resources that may be useful or spark interest in other areas of community arts, Los Angeles or arts in general.

CLASS IDEAS

This webpage provides a list of discussion questions and suggested projects.  The questions and projects are organized into general areas of focus.  However, there is a great deal of overlap and some questions and projects can easily be used in a number of different ways depending on the overarching theme and lesson plan in your class.

VISUAL MEDIA AVAILABLE

NOTE: Other films of interest are listed in the bibliography.  Also, the Leimert Park documentary is “chaptered” to facilitate the screening of shorter segments of the film in class.
