Problem
A. Using the genre you chose to focus, introduce it to us. What is it? Why did you choose it and what movie are you using as the main case study to explore?
B. Now, tell us your thoughts! How does the film highlight the specific theme and what does it tell us about that genre? What does it tell us about that aspect of our society or individuals or subculture? How does the film illuminate our culture today? How you organize this is up to you! You can use video if you want or bring in pictures, clips, etc.
C. Take it a step Deeper! Imagine you travel 200 years from now into the future! They want to know this specific genre you are focusing on and you only have this one movie to explain to them our world today in the early 21st century. What does this film tell them about us today? In other words, how does it express a certain zeitgeist? Much like watching a Charlie Chaplin film, in what ways would our society be similar and different based on the movie you are choosing?
D. Your Final Thoughts and Closing Remarks on this film! Each genre and your reason for picking it is unique. Use this final paragraph to express to us the value of this film and this genre and what you hope to express to us, your students, and to learn from your investigation! Your chance to be the teacher! Express your thoughts, I want to see your claims be the focus here, make it personal and express yourself here.
