The past generation had Schoolhouse Rock, this new
generation can now learn from Sydney and Max. “Sydney and Max Blast Through the Past” is a new DVD series
that provides a fascinating study of American history through the eyes of
teenagers. It is unlike any series ever produced because it is built around the
idea of teens teaching teens; kids are loving it.
This
series is designed for children ages 10 – 16 and is guaranteed to encourage
critical thinking as viewers follow Sydney and Max’s investigation into
America’s past. The music,
dialogue, and episode length were all specifically designed to hold the
attention of today’s young people. The primary purpose is to present each short
episode in a way that is entertaining and fast paced and will introduce kids to
valuable historical information without them realizing that they are actually
learning. The unique aspect of the series is that it educates kids by using an
entertaining format. The Sydney and Max series does this by acting as a hook
that raises the curiosity of kids so that they genuinely want to learn more
about a specific historical event or time period.
The DVD consists of:
- Fifteen episodes that each run approximately 8 minutes
- Open-ended discussion questions available for download from the disc
Special Bonus Offer
- Individual episodes can be purchased from the website and downloaded immediately
Teachers have been thrilled by the response from
their students and some parents have even purchased sets for their home. Check out our website at: www.sydneyandmaxeducate.com
