Timeblazers: History and More Series

<BODY> <h2>Timeblazers: History and More Series</h2> <I>'Highly Recommended. Each episode provides an interesting, engaging history lesson packaged in a kid-friendly format. Viewers can discuss what we can learn from history. What lessons have historical events taught us? How have things we take for granted today evolved over the centuries? Viewers can have fun looking at everyday things like clothes and computers and talking about where they got their start.'</I> -Common Sense Media<BR> <I>Timeblazers</I> is an enlightening and entertaining series of programs produced to help pre-teens and teens better understand modern-day technologies and customs by traveling back in time to look at notable people and events in history. Here we meet 13-year-old Shakira (<B>Jasmine Richards</B>), who appears in the first 13 programs, and 12-year-old Alex (<B>Stephen Joffe</B>), who appears in the next 27 programs; each asks questions regarding the origin of certain things; then a pair of globetrotting, daredevil historians, Sam (<B>Mike Ackerman</B>) and Jen (<B>Heidi Leigh</B>), spin through the ages with them to bring the past to life. Each episode is a no-holds-barred ride as our heroes embark on a string of wild escapades throughout history, but don't let all the fun fool you, each program builds upon interdisciplinary social studies, including references to geography, science, and sociology, and pre-teens and teenagers will not only discover the value of history, but also will be motivated to learn more about each topic covered.
