Vivamazonia: The Jungle Book of Teaching (Enhanced DVD)

The Amazon rain forest is the setting of a fascinating look into the world of the animals that reside there. The remote environment of the jungle offers a perfect opportunity to teach some valuable lessons to viewers. Though authorities in the area provide local school children with textbooks there is no way for those students to be able to recognize themaelves within the cityscapes. As a result, textbooks for school children in the area are created by hand.

Math lessons are taught using the river, as students can find fractions in them. With a fishing ban put in place at the river that is about to expire, students are getting a history lesson as well. This type of lesson plan ensures that students become not only book smart, but smart to the ways of the world also. In addition to absorbing the typical facts and figures every student learns they are also given a sense of responsibility regarding their national heritage. Students gain a clear and educated understanding of the impact that will be felt in the area when the fishing ban is no longer in place on the river. They find out how this will impact their lives and that of their families. A unqiue documentary, the focus of this DVD is those in the world who have the most to lose as a result of inevitable and unavoidable changes in the world.
