TEACHING THROUGH FILM is hands down the best approach to teaching Sociology!
Description:
I love to teach sociology through movies. I spent weeks researching a movie that best suits the topic of socializing the individual, until one day it hit me: The Truman Show by Jim Carry. I made these movie questions and tried it out, and it was A HIT! The kids LOVE THE MOVIE and couldn't believe how much it relates to the chapter!
Here's what you'll get.
This particular product is a PDF file that includes:
- Move questions for the students to answer during and after the movie. The questions are divided into:
- Movie questions- students are asked to answer questions about the movie with details from the movie
- Opinion questions- students give their opinion on various elements of the movie
- Application questions- students apply the sociological terms and concepts to the movie and find connections
Why is this perfect?
These notes are organized in the ways students love because: :
- It's minimal- they write in bullet points things they notice in the movie
- Lets them enjoy the movie instead of worrying about answering questions and missing an answer!
Benefits:
This assignment:
- Save YOU a lot of time to prepare
- Gives students a differentiated approach to learning theories
- The list form is easier for students to keep track of
- Examples from the help the students to make real-life applications of the theories to their lives
- Gets the kids engaged in a discussion after the movie.
Suggested Use & Duration:
When the movie is done, I:
- Have students share some of the things they wrote down in their note-taker. Students elaborate on one another’s answers and write down new ideas for their note-takers.
