Screen Session: 3Cs of Screen Education - Critical Activities
The backbone of all screen education work is the development of critical, cultural and creative skills, taught interconnectedly – or the 3Cs. We will be running three sessions from November to January, each one focusing on a different ‘C’ and activities that could be used to teach it in Primary and Secondary classrooms. This month’s session will be on how to approach teaching critical screen education.
Critical learning involves studying a film to learn how to identify, examine, develop, evaluate, respond, question, problem-solve and articulate. Examining a film critically also means introducing learners to screen language (mise-en-scène, camerawork, editing, sound…) as well as examining character, setting, imagery, theme, etc.
Louise Sedgewick, English/Media teacher at St Margaret’s Academy in West Lothian and an Into Film ambassador, will be sharing an overview of what critical screen education looks like for both Primary and Secondary, along with a whole bunch of suggested classroom activities for you to take away and try.
There will also be an opportunity for participants to ask questions and share ideas with Louise and each other.
