Movies As Literature

A complete, one-year English course or elective for high school, or use many of the lessons to supplement grades 7-8. This course uses 17 classic movies (DVDs not included) to introduce and study the elements of literary analysis. The book contains a student section and an extensive teacher's guide. Each lesson includes questions for discussion and composition and extended activity suggestions for anyone wanting to use it as an Honor's course. Also included: 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 also equip them with the ability to discern underlying messages in movies, rather than simply absorb them. It also offers students with difficulty reading (such as dyslexia) or remembering what they've read an opportunity to use their strengths by comprehending and analyzing stories appropriate for their age, not their reading level. The teacher's guide contains details about teaching, points to cover during discussions, and what to look for in compositions that make it easy to use by homeschooling families.
