Movie Suggestions

Posted by drpezz on April 19, 2008

I love using film clips or outside of class movies to enrich my students’ learning experiences, and the kids respond enthusiastically when I do use the cinema to enhance units. Any suggestions?

I have the following novels to teach this semester:

  • To Kill A Mockingbird,
  • Frankenstein,
  • Fahrenheit 451,
  • A Gathering of Old Men, and
  • Beowulf.

I will show the film versions for the first two novels, but I’d love some other ideas. I do have some initial notions, but I’d like to see what I can do to broaden my film clip selections.

Also, anybody have any good comics alluding to any of these novels?
