Subject:

Description:

This workshop teaches teachers the foundational elements of film criticism, film theory, and film studies pedagogy so that they may enhance their students' media and visual literacies. Teachers will learn about cinematography, editing, mise-en-scne, and sound as well as a number of theoretical approaches to cinema, including genre theory, auteur theory, structuralism, and race/class/gender approaches. The course is designed primarily for secondary school teachers teaching grades 9-12 in the humanities or social sciences (especially teachers in the communication arts, English, and social studies) who have no background in Film Studies; however, it will provide foundational skills for teaching film in a variety of contexts.
