“Disagree” is not and should never be seen as a negative word. It promotes intellectual conversation and is in no way a slight against you when someone directs it towards you. Don’t be irrational. Be academic.
Hey! @SpartanEngEd and @KDPatMSU you should all come see @msucarson @abela_jacob @MissElenaE1 @EnglishAdjacent and my presentation on how film can be taught within an English classroom on Monday, December 3rd at 6PM in the Erickson Kiva! Pizza will be present. #FilmInSchool
What a lovely discussion we had in the #NCTE18 & #NCTEchat tonight! If you care to keep the ball rolling, join @LaurenLHooper @BrookeABloomfi1 @JacobKrincek and I later this week as we question whether or not Shakespeare’s infamous star-crossed lovers are truly in love 🤔❤️👀
@fbaker Mr. Baker, these sources have been amazing. I am currently working with a few of my peers to pursue how we might bring this into our future classrooms. I was wondering if we could ask you some follow up questions to better understand your opinions and methods of teaching film.
As an aspiring educator and lover of cinema, I have often questioned how we can teach films and TV shows in the classroom, rather than rewarding students with it after they read the book. (Any suggestions are welcomed) #NCTEvillage#engchat#edchat
Music has played a big role in my life, and I hope to bring it into the classroom when I start teaching. What are ways to incorporate multiple genres side-by-side to show the sim/diffs between songs all around the world? @DirkMateer@RebeccaStein3#NCTEvillage#HipHopEd#engchat
@JacobKrincek The recent Marvel movies, especially Civil War and Infinity War, are good texts to introduce a critical analysis of the hero/villain binary and the subjectivity of heroism.
Question for the Chat. What are everyone’s opinions on teaching Patriotism within a classroom? How do we teach who is the hero, and who is the villain? Particularly within non-fiction, but fiction as well. #NCTEchat
@KaytlynMulford Kaytlyn, I agree, but sometimes the only way to empathize is to have experienced something similar first-hand. For example, the death of a parent, sibling, or loved one. Some things are hard to teach. As teachers, we can however, teach parallels. #NCTEchat
A4: I would say when they question or interpret the characters’ emotions and motivations. Once Ss begin to do this, many will start advocating for character decisions because they understand the “why” and can empathize with that. #NCTEchat
Q4. I worry that the emphasis in the standards to "prove "with supporting details locks kids into a way of thinking. They see writing as a means by which they prove that they are right instead of an opportunity to explore and expand their thinking... #NCTEChat
A4: We see S’s begin to empathize in their writings when we see the appearance of minority groups. S’s often create stories of characters that are only like themselves or who they want to be. When we see difference in characters and minority groups appear we see empathy #NCTEchat
