Classroom DVD:
Hype and Consequences
Use John Stossel's 20/20 segments—specially selected by John for your classroom—to spark thoughtful,
engaging, curriculum-driven class discussions. Here's what you get free with the STOSSEL IN THE CLASSROOM
program:
• FREE 34-minute DVD, which includes six segments from 20/20,
chosen and edited specifically for the classroom. In the Hype and Consequences DVD are:
High-Priced Fashion: Sometimes we buy expensive fashion items like sneakers, just because they're so cool! Meet one NBA star who finally put his size 12 foot down on this spending trend.
Vaccine Fears: Vaccines have saved many people from death and illness. But now some people say they're not safe, that they can hurt people.
Ethanol Fuel: Some say "ethanol," a bio-fuel alternative to gasoline made from corn, will help save the environment. Do you agree?
Unintended Consequences: Everyday, people are killed and injured. When bad things happen, it's natural to say, "There should be a law!" But what are the unintended consequences of making more laws?
Food Donation: People want to cook meals for the homeless. The government wants food safety. Is there a conflict between these two good ideas?
Media Scares: The media reports that scary things are happening in the world, but we can't worry about everything. So what should we worry about?
• FREE downloadable and printable Teacher Guide with suggested
discussion topics and activities for your classroom to supplement your Hype and Consequences video segments
