The site is excellent for finding a variety of film clips that will be helpful not only for this unit but also for other purposes. In many school buildings, the site is filtered out, so you may have to ask your IT administrator to help you access the site. All you simply have to do, is type your subject into the search box and believe me, you will find a wealth of material. . .but beware, preview everything before you just decide to show it to your students; some stuff is simply junk.
