Jonah Hex

After watching a movie with your children or students, we encourage parents and teachers to look for education opportunities to teach with movies. Here are a few discussion topics that can help with lesson plans or teaching in the home.

Eli Whitney is mentioned in this film as making a contribution to the fictitious weapon being built. In reality, Whitney is remembered as being one of the people who started the Industrial Revolution after he invented the cotton gin. Whitney is also credited by some for having created interchangeable parts, which contributed greatly in the mass manufacture of weapons. For more details on Whitney check http://www.eliwhitney.org.
