This course is designed to survey American and international cinema and determine through critical analysis the influence that culture has on the form and content of the film medium. Coursework includes screening film, discussions, and written critiques. The course is web en-hanced, so students need a working knowledge of a web-based platform.
Students in this class will examine how people think. They will be challenged to express their own ideas logically and to analyze the ideas of others through extensive reading, writing, and discussion.
Students will read and evaluate culturally diverse literature for children from preschool through elementary school.
