The third graders are working on taking notes from "The Inventor's Times" (publish date: 2003). As we went through some of the inventions, I realized that several have already been replaced! Today's third graders may have never seen a Polaroid camera or a typewriter.
However, they can all still watch a silent movie ... Buster Keaton is my personal favorite. Oohs and ahs ensued when I showed this clip.
Edited to add: "The Artist," a mostly silent movie about the silent movie era, is up for an Oscar!
