Check out *The Tudors on Film and Television*, by Sue Parrill and William
B. Robison (McFarland 2013) and the interactive website,
http://www.tudorsonfilm.com/.

History teaches students to read intelligently, think analytically, write
clearly, accurately assess past trends, rationally predict future
developments, and understand the real world. Now *that** *is
workforce-ready!
