Hollywood or History? : An Inquiry-Based Strategy for Using Film to Teach World Religions

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Teaching and learning through Hollywood, or commercial, film and television productions is anything but a new approach and has been something of a mainstay in the classroom for nearly a century. However, purposeful and effective instruction through film is not problem-free and many challenges accompany classroom applications of Hollywood motion pictures. In response to the problems and possibilities associated with teaching through film, we are developing a collection of practical, classroom-ready lesson ideas that might bridge gaps between theory and practice and assist teachers endeavoring to make effective use of film in their classrooms. We believe that film can serve as a powerful tool in the social studies classroom and, where appropriately utilized, foster critical thinking and civic mindedness. The NCSS College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) framework, represents a renewed and formalized emphasis on the perennial social studies goals of deep thinking, reading and writing. Our hope is that this edited book might play a small role in the larger project of supporting practitioners, specifically 6-12 teachers of social studies and world religion content, by offering a collection of classroom-ready tools based on the Hollywood or History strategy and designed to foster inquiry through the careful use of selected motion pictures and television productions.Topics of interest include the roots, rituals, symbols, beliefs, and controversial or significant people or events related to:The Abrahamic Religions: Judaism, Christianity, IslamEastern Religions/Philosophies: Hinduism, BuddhismIndigenous Religions/Spirituality: First Nations, Traditional African Religions.
