Movies As Literature Curriculum

Save On Movies As Literature Bundle!

Looking for something different for high school language arts? Kathryn Stout of Design-A-Study has written an English course that uses movies that you can rent or borrow from you local library! During the course, students will study elements of literary analysis, watch some neat movies, and learn to discern underlying messages in movies!

While my daughter and a friend are using Movies as Literature this year, the siblings have also watched some of the movies which are age appropriate.

Movies as Literature Course

Movies as Literature

Kathryn Stout, Design A Study

This complete, one-year high school English course uses classic movies on video to introduce and study the elements of literary analysis. Student discussion and composition questions are provided for each of 17 lessons, several of which can also be used to supplement studies in grades 7 and 8. Also included are an extensive teacher’s guide/answer key, plot summaries, glossary of literary terms, and final exam.

This course will not only give students the tools to appreciate good books more fully, but will equip them with the ability to discern underlying messages in movies rather than simply absorb them.

The following 17 movies are covered by Movies As Literature: Shane, Friendly Persuasion, The Quiet Man, Arsenic and Old Lace, The Music Man, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, The Maltese Falcon, Rear Window, Emma, The Philadelphia Story, The Journey of August King, To Kill A Mockingbird, A Raisin in the Sun, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Henry V, A Man For All Seasons, and Chariots of Fire.

Scripted lessons give the teacher and confidence.
