Announcement
Home Tree Media, an independent book and film publisher, announces a new discrepant event lesson on DVD film, a title called Discrepant Event Lesson Easter Island: Ghosts of Rapa Nui.
Ms. Bruce released her first discrepant event lesson on DVD, November 29, 2007; the title is Discrepant Event Lesson: Humanity’s Journey the Conquered and the Conquered, a Supplement to Mindtronics! and Inquiry Alive.
Newest release
Home Tree Media’s newest release is also a discrepant event lesson for teachers and students, or anyone wishing to learn using the scientific method of inquiry and discovery. This newest discrepant event lesson takes you, again, to one of Professor William C. Bruce’s classroom. You see and hear students in their classroom, as in the first DVD discrepant event lesson. In the new discrepant event lesson, new students participate in the discrepant event lesson. You see and hear from more students in this new production. Similar to the students in the first discrepant event lesson, the new class members wrestle with following clues, finding answers, and changing minds thanks to the discrepant event.
The students in the newest title experienced discrepant event lessons before the classroom filming of the discrepant event. Therefore, you spend less time during the lesson addressing the discrepant event rules. Instead, you read the rules presented to you in brief pre-lesson production scenes. The scenes set your viewing environment: unexpected colors of Polynesian place, time, and atmosphere; dancers and body moving music pulsate, and drums, drums, drums.
