Movies As Literature

Highschool, Other Resources |

movies-as-literatureBy Kathryn L. Stout, B.S. Ed., M. Ed.
Grade level: 9-12; supplemental for 7-8

This complete, one-year high school English course uses classic movies on video to introduce and study the elements of literary analysis. Student discussion and composition questions are provided for each of 17 lessons, several of which can also be used to supplement studies in grades 7 and 8. Also included are an extensive teacher’s guide/answer key, plot summaries, glossary of literary terms, and final exam. This course will not only give students the tools to appreciate good books more fully, but will equip them with the ability to discern underlying messages in movies rather than simply absorb them. All students need to learn how to discern what is portrayed in movies/media and this is a great way to teach it!
