Killing Moon
$9.99
The first time I saw this movie was on HBO last week. I checked out the program guide on screen, and it sounded like a decent movie. I recorded it on my dvr. Although it isn't a 4-5 star movie, it doesn't deserve the 1-2 star rating. Sure there isn't the bloodshed, violence, gore, and action that most people are looking for. Just how many movies out there are that believable anyway? Although it lacks all of the elements that I listed, it is a decent movie. It pales to many of the newer releases with action, and special effects. I feel that it is a decent, but not good drama. Whats missing in this movie is the usual foul language, violence, and gore that most people are so used to seeing in a movie. Could this be the main reason this movie is raked over the coals by the reviewers? Do they consider the movie "boring"? Sure the movie lacks the excitement, suspense, and has a plot that may not appeal to most. It is still a decent movie.

How Students Learn Social Studies: Social Studies Education in the Context of Standards-Based Education Reform
$88.00
Reform efforts to address excellence and equity under Goals 2000 and the No Child Left Behind Act are being implemented across the nation and the impact of their efforts on social studies education is evident. Focused efforts and attention have been placed on the knowledge and achievement levels of students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and literacy areas and on opportunity-to-learn (OTL) conditions necessary for all students to achieve at high levels in these areas. Little knowledge exists about the status of America?s students? knowledge and achievement, or their learning experiences, and the linkages between the two, in social studies. Primary purposes of this study were to (a) focus attention on content that is foundational to preparing students to participate in a democratic and diverse society, social studies education; and (b) begin to explore the ways in which OTL conditions are useful for understanding achievement levels attained by students overall, and by subgroup, in addressing equity gaps in such achievement.
