George Bailey learns that it truly is a wonderful life when he discovered how many lives he has touched—not to mention how many new generations of lives the story touches every year. A study guide on It's a Wonderful Life introduces learners to the classic movie using the format of a live radio play. Information in the guide includes details on the story, as well as handouts on the history of old-time radio performances. After going through the information, scholars create their own old-time radio plays.
