After we watch, I assign youtube clips to groups and have them analyze what the director was trying to achieve in the scene and the techniques used to achieve it. Like you, I see it as an accessible way to get them into analysis.

After all, they have been watching movies longer than they have been reading, right? By starting in their comfort zone, they can find success early and keep at it when it gets a bit more challenging. I use consistent language when analyzing film for maximum transfer to analyzing lit. What choices did the director make? What effect do they have on the audience? (Costuming is always a great place to start for character analysis.) <br />Two units I have especially loved pairing film analysis with close reading are To Kill a Mockingbird and Romeo and Juliet (1997 version!). Not only do these quality films provide many opportunities for analysis, it also hurts my literary heart just a little less knowing that students at least are getting "the whole story" when we inevitably can't read the entire piece. We are usually alternating between film analysis and lit analysis- which can be tiring, but nearly so much as the human cliff notes song and dance of in class readings! I have been doing this successfully for a couple of years now and cannot believe the difference it has made in my students' understanding. <br />Music videos also work great with poetry and commercials are perfect for rhetorical strategies of speeches!<br /><br />Thank you so much for addressing this tough skill. I found this post this morning while browsing Pinterest and will be following for more great ideas!Briggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02644964978300718524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8147741456737476069.post-20396597751364169392017-03-31T18:47:21.314-04:002017-03-31T18:47:21.314-04:00Thank you!

I'm also about to publish a new post that deals with your question about reading.

I have a couple of questions, though. First, I noticed that you said that your students "are expected to come to class with notes they take while reading." Do your students reliably complete their assigned reading? At the school where I teach, no teachers assign reading in the standard level classes - the students won't do it, so all reading is done in class, which is time-consuming and often boring. In the honors classes, we do assign reading, but I would say that maybe 20% of the students actually do the reading, 60% look at sparknotes or watch the movie, and 20% don't bother to pretend that they've read at all. Could you write a post about how you get your students to complete their assigned reading?<br /><br />Second, when you have your students analyzing in small groups rather than as a class, how do you prevent students from arriving at incorrect interpretations? I don't mean different interpretations - I agree that great literature is open to multiple interpretations - but sometimes they come up with an interpretation that completely misses the mark (especially with poetry). I'm sure you catch many errors while walking around, but probably not all. Do you just let them make mistakes?<br /><br />Thanks for some great ideas!Erin aka Conscious Shopperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02055472303320074413noreply@blogger.com
