Film Studies in the Classroom focuses on equipping educators with the tools and methodologies necessary to incorporate film as a dynamic educational resource. Participants will explore various cinematic techniques and narrative structures, learning how to leverage films to enhance critical thinking and engagement among students. The course emphasizes practical applications, allowing participants to design lesson plans and classroom activities that utilize film analysis as a means of fostering creativity and collaboration.
Through a project-based approach, learners will engage in interactive discussions and hands-on activities, culminating in a final project that showcases their ability to integrate film studies into their teaching practices. By encouraging participants to publish their findings and experiences in Cademix Magazine, this course not only enhances individual professional development but also contributes to a broader discourse on innovative teaching methodologies in the arts and humanities.
