About This Item
Chicago: Prime Time School Television, 1979. Very good +. 8 3/8" x 11". Stapled wrappers. Pp. 11. Very good plus: bright, with light wear and minor corner dents; rear wrapper with light dust soiling.
This is a teacher's guide to the television production of the original Roots. It was created by Prime Time School Television (PTST), an entity created in the late 1970s to "bridge the interests of educators and broadcasters . . . [by making] sure that perhaps the most effective medium of instruction in this country is put to good use by teachers and their students." As of 1978, PTST's director, Newton N. Minow, was also the chairman of PBS, and the firm offered monthly teacher's guides via a subscription service.
This guide provided synopses and a short historical context of each Roots episode along with suggested classroom activities. It also has a 20+ title bibliography as well as suggestions for larger and longer term projects.
While OCLC locates 22 titles by PTST, it finds no copies of the item on offer.
