INFORMATIVE/INTERESTING FOR ALL!!
|
| This piece is an intriguing look into the history of all 21 of the Missions of California! The story is told using beautiful shots of the structures along with narration that depicts the impacts of the missions. In addition to the religious influences, the audience is informed of the effects the missions had on the architecture of the times and the increases in population that occurred throughout the state due to these settlements. This is a documentary that everyone can truly enjoy. It would be ideal for the 4th graders required to study this subject matter. Even for those like me who are not history buffs, R.J. Adams keeps it interesting by relating unique truths (such as the fact that Mission Santa Clara was the location of California's very first college). Enlightening accounts of the heroes and saints involved with the missions are also included. These stories are brought alive using a combination of old and new shots of both the interiors and exteriors of the missions. The viewer is left with a clear understanding of this crucial component of California's history. If you don't have time to make the trek across the state to all 21 missions, I would HIGHLY recommend taking the exciting journey by seeing this video! |
