I also feel like as a future theater teacher movies can be a great resource for my students to see the plays they will be performing in. As long as the movies are used correctly they are a great resource to the classroom.

In the worksheet you may include questions about the main points you want your students to grasp an understand.

These movies let the students have a small brain break while still obtaining the knowledge of the course. In science you can find movies that approach the material in a hands-on format. This can be helpful if you don't have the right supplies for object lessons. The movie selections in math are not as vast as science, but there are definitely children's math movies that help broaden basic math skills for younger students. These make math more approachable and fun for kids who are new to the subject.

-- using note-taking as part of an 'active viewing' strategy; 
-- raising open-ended critical questions that involve students in analyzing the author's purpose, point of view, and methods of developing ideas through language, image and sound; and
-- implementing simple media production activities that promote insight into how media messages are constructed.]]> 2017-01-31 22:53:07 UTC https://padlet.com/d00264746/uvx9hjuk7fnk/wish/150709973 https://padlet.com/d00264746/uvx9hjuk7fnk/wish/150710028 English classes usually read classical literature novels and there are a lot of movie adaptations of those books. Watching these movies can be a reward for having read the book and can make the class look forward to a movie day.

Movies have been made about many historical events and if they are found appropriate to show to the class, they can be a great way to immerse the class in the history. Students can get a better feel for the times in which the movie takes place and they may have an easier time recalling historical events after having learned about them in fun terms such as a movie.

One movie that I remember very well from when I was younger is School House Rock. The movie had fun cartoons and catching songs that you could memorize and recall when you needed to know your times tables or how a bill is passed or what conjunctions are. There aren't many science things in that movie, but there are probably other movies that incorporate all including science. Movies can really stick in a student's mind and they may even remember the songs and stories for years and years.

Imbedded in this article are films 8 minutes or shorter, perfect for class, that have that wow factor that can start a great discussion.

They can serve as a visual introduction to pique students' interest in an upcoming reading group or assigned literature. As an example, below is a book trailer for one of my favorite young adult novels.

The kids think that its a reward when really it is helping them learn the alphabet, math, and communication.
