Description
Films aren’t novels – but often we teach them as if they were. This guide emphasises the importance of teaching films that are good examples of some things in particular – whether it’s characterisation, symbolism or its thematic message. Over many chapters How To Teach Students To Understand And Respond To Film lists dozens of films and discusses how the filmic aspect they are a good example of – genre, music, characters, imagery or themes – can be taught in way that supports students to discuss and write about films as films not just as any generic text. Like our other guides, this one is packed full of helpful and practical handouts.
