like or don't like a movie? If not, they may find themselves accepting a
jumble of philosophies without really thinking. Stories entertain, but they
also teach. This workshop shows you how to develop your childrens' ability
to critique movies. Teens will not only be better protected from absorbing
wrong influences, but will be better able to analyze any literature. This
workshop includes a discussion of story elements and film techniques, as
well as questions to ask after watching movies with students ages 13-18.
