DVD Reviews of Famous Authors - Mark Twain
DVD Review: My students make better videos
Summary: 1 Stars
This is no good unless your main goal is to avoid planning and make students bored with the material. The geographical information and pictures of setting can be covered more effectively and professionally on a powerpoint presentation. The video consists mainly of charts and still pictures, while historical but often irrelevant events are narrated by a British guy who sometimes mispronounces names and places.

Description of Famous Authors - Mark Twain
"Drawing on old maps, contemporary drawings and paintings, portraits and other archive material, the excellent Famous Authors series not only presents a factual outline of the writers? lives, but also conveys a clear visual picture of the social and historical background to their writing. Recommended for all ages." ?THE GOOD BOOK GUIDE Mark Twain was born Samuel Langhorn Clemens in Florida, Missouri. Twain drew on his boyhood along the Mississippi River for many of his characters and plots. His formal schooling ended early and he learned the print trade. In 1853, after writing for newspapers in Hannibal, Missouri, he left for St. Louis, Philadelphia and New York. He returned to the river in 1857 and became a Mississippi steamboat pilot until the Civil War put an end to river traffic. His fame as a humorist and story teller was established with the publication of the Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. Lecturing increased his reputation, but it was The Innocent Abroad that gave him a firm place in the world of literature. A careful and conscious artist, Twain as a humorist was master of the techniques of exaggeration, irreverence and deadpan solemnity. Sensitive to the sound of language, he introduced colloquial speech into American fiction. He was unsurpassed as a creator of character, preeminently in the immortal Huck Finn, and as a keen observer of the social scene.Bestsellers in DVD
