Movies as Literature Workbook

This extra student workbook can accompany the complete, one-year high school English course Movies as Literature. This program uses classic movies on video/DVD to introduce and study the elements of literary analysis. The student book contains discussion and composition questions for each of the 17 lessons, several of which can also be used to supplement studies in grades 7 and 8. The student portion is included in the main text, but can be purchased separately for convenience. This course will not only give students the tools to appreciate good books more fully, but will also equip them with the ability to discern underlying messages in movies rather than simply absorb them.
