AllThis session will explore some of the ways Language Arts teachers can bring film text alive in their classrooms by teaching the literacy needed to fully appreciate this genre. Like other text-creators, filmmakers make deliberate choices to enable viewers to engage in and construct meaning from film.
Teachers will leave this session with a scope and sequence for teaching film 7-9, a list of film suggestions appropriate for Junior High, as well as some classroom-ready resources.
All learning opportunities with the ERLC regional team will focus on the Alberta Education and district priority areas.
