Question
Read the excerpt titled "Movies are In, Books are Out.”
Physical books are becoming a thing of the past in education. Movies based on books are more inclusive to all learners and allow for viewers to visualize what the author intended on a screen rather than in their minds. Movie viewers are able to better answer questions about characterization if they can see what the character is like. Viewers are le ss likely to become distracted while a movie is playing in comparison to reading a novel. Students reading independently are often off task and distracted. There are many who claim that film cannot be used to teach literary elements, but in my book, Finding Ways to Teach Differently, this topic is discussed in depth. Not only will I supply the background and research to support this new approach to teaching literature, but I will also provide concrete examples of how these techniques can be directly applied in the classroom.
