  • Using movies in the classroom can be an effective way for teachers to engage students in course material if teachers take some important precautions.
  • Using popular movies in the high school or college classroom can engage students who might not otherwise read course material and/or help students to better understand course material by being able to relate that material to a medium with which they are more familiar
  • Teachers should work with their schools or departments regarding policies, securing permissions, and designing optional assignments if some students are prohibited from watching the film.

  • Do discuss the movie with students before, during, and after airing.
  • Do provide students with a viewing guide and/or a series of questions to answer about the film.
  • Do design an assignment or project that explicitly connects the film to course content.
  • Don’t feel that showing the entire film during a class period or multiple class periods is necessary.
  • Don’t violate copyright.
  • Don’t view the film as a one-shot assignment in the course.
  • Film can be an interesting way for teachers to connect sometimes theoretical or abstract course concepts to a world outside the classroom.

  • I hit upon the idea of using TV to teach notetaking, main idea, and summarization. As a middle school language arts teacher in a low-income,minority population community, I knew these were skills my students needed to practice and master.
  • The students eventually became so sophisticated that they not only wanted to discuss the news, but also to analyze it.
  • The skills are equally important whether you are 13 or 30: notetaking, main idea, summarization, and particularly the analyzing of media presentations. Through analysis, we all become better decision makers.
