Using Film in the High School Curriculum: A Practical Guide for Teachers and Librarians

By Kenneth E. Resch

Films allow unique enrichment opportunities for high school students. No other medium can offer the range of opportunities, and, unlike tests or lectures, movies appeal to all learning styles and ability levels.These ideas for making students active film viewers embrace the basic language of film, the value of the medium, special effects, film and literature, the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) rating system, and copyright restrictions, among other topics. Videographies organized by both school subject and film genre include ratings, length, and year released. A sample high school study course curriculum is also given.
