Lights, Camera, Action: Teach!

There is much we can learn from the messages and images portrayed in movies and video clips. Movies that depict teachers, students, and teaching often resonate with images that we can relate to based on our own educational experiences. Teachers may be portrayed as oblivious, out of touch, or disinterested in one movie and as involved, committed, and inspiring in another film. This class will examine a variety of movies and video clips that depict teaching with a focus on skills of written communication, oral communication, and information literacy.
