I've never really understood how to use movies meaningfully in the classroom and so I mostly avoided using movies at all. I almost never showed movie clips. This class has given me the tools and understanding I need to feel confident I can use the analysis of movie clips and entire movies in my classroom to the students' benefit. I'm not just confident; I'm excited.

Excellent class. I enjoyed the text that the teacher chose to use and took a lot away from the experience that I will hope to use in my classroom.

I had a lot of great guidance in developing practical materials I can use to run my current courses. I also got to do some vital work for the media literacy class I will teach this year.

I highly recommend this course to any ELA educator! The course offers rich insight into teaching visual literacy; it curates a marriage between literature and film that allows students to dive into their reading experiences with an arsenal of tools they didn't have when exclusively looking at the text. My teaching of literature has become more nuanced and engaging with this course. :)

Another valuable and useful class. I was pleased to find that this course was filled with ideas and lessons that were able to be utilized both immediately and for the future. It's so refreshing to take a course that is relevant to my current teaching assignment. The professor's feedback was timely, useful and encouraging.
