Reply to "David & Jonathan Lesson Ideas and Resources"

I second Neil's "King David" starring Richard Gere.  We have used/will use different portions of it for several rotations on David.  With our senior class (mostly middle and high school but some upper elementary), part of our discussion looks at the differences between the biblical and movie versions (as Neil comments, relatively minor in general).  This allows us to explore such concepts as how a story's presentation (including the viewpoint and medium used) can effect our impressions/interpretations of a story.  This includes what is left out of a telling of the story (such as in David and Goliath, which we generally stop reading after verse 50, eliminating some of the gore).  This goes over very well with the students and encourages them to be active listeners/observers in other aspects of their lives.
