Film can spark conversation like few other platforms in the classroom can so the Utah Film Center created Film Spark to help teachers with a curriculum that provides structure for discussing important global topics. At Tumbleweeds join the Utah Film Center and documentary director Jean Michel Dissard, from the highly acclaimed film I Learn America for a free Film Spark workshop focused on integrating award-winning documentary films into your classroom. Each participating school team (3 or more teachers grades 6-12) receives a Film Spark Volume I curriculum guide containing twelve documentary DVDs and corresponding, standards-linked study guides, and Utah State Board of Education relicensure credit.
