Resources for Hannah


Movies

No movie specifically on Hannah.

Video Tape Idea - You could MAKE a movie with kids as actors, or by videotaping a picture book as it is being read (new strange idea, but it works!). Use a video camera that's pointed down through a hole in a large box and aimed at the book. Open side of box to shine in lighting. Open two other holes in box for hands to move the book.  Hook up camera to TV monitor to view output.  Experiment!

    • Kid Pix 4 can speak out-loud over the computer speakers whatever is typed on the screen using the text tool.
    • You can import graphics, including photographs, illustrate them and add captions.
  • Let's Talk by Sunday Software
    Both of the above two software programs you can have the kids illustrate/type in Hannah's conversation with God and it will play it back on computer.

  • Fall of Jericho by SonSoft
    Write up question set and the kid's then play the game answering your questions. Always a hit and an excellent review of story.
