Quality media programs, particularly quality movies, have the
opportunity to provide youth with positive learning experiences. While
countless movies incorporate positive themes, youth need guidance in
selecting what to watch and making sense of the messages being
conveyed. This guide will help you do that as
well as provide an understanding of how youth can learn positive
values, behavior and decision-making abilities from movies, whether
they are in classroom or informal settings, such as after-school
programs or at home.
The Teaching with Movies Parent and Educator Guide explores the following topics:
• Understanding the Influence of Movies on Youth
• Selecting Movies with Learning Potential
• Steps for Identifying Teachable Themes in Movies
• Teaching Movie Themes
• Connecting Books and Movies
• Making it Happen
