That's why we have a writing on film class, a video production class, a screenplay component of our creative writing class, and the study of documentary and feature films in our classes.<br /><br />However, the watching of a movie in class for pure entertainment value is a waste. And that happens far too often - weekly in some classes.mmazenkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06602797515366983639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1550222691875074441.post-23099051843730335122010-11-22T21:11:52.829-07:002010-11-22T21:11:52.829-07:00I think that a 21st century school curriculum that...I think that a 21st century school curriculum that doesn't seem film as a form of communication and, therefore, its study a form of literacy is not worth a great deal.Stephenhttp://www.teachingoutloud.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1550222691875074441.post-20046235614231361782010-11-18T22:41:24.516-07:002010-11-18T22:41:24.516-07:00On a more serious note than my previous comment (t...On a more serious note than my previous comment (that for some reason decided to call me "j"), I was wondering what your take is on movies as a whole. Do you like movies at all? You seem so focused on books, do you consider movies viable ways to tell a story and teach a theme?Jordan Crawfordnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1550222691875074441.post-88968030307976309642010-11-16T23:12:57.468-07:002010-11-16T23:12:57.468-07:00[Amy's] = Maden's or Emma's or Zach...[Amy's] = Maden's or Emma's or Zach's (probably the third)<br />[Joe] = Jack<br />Your too predictable Mr. Mazenko...<br />I probably shouldn't say that, I might get -2 on my essay.

No wonder you don't do that. We are reading Lord of the Rings, and after each book in the trilogy, we watch a movie. It takes a while to get through each book. :)<br /><br />PS. It's me, Mrs. C.
