Additionally, my immensely talented Graduate Intern, Laura Kasparian, constructed this great BrainFrame that helped the students apply genre aspects and align with story grammar:
I'm very excited to use these videos. I made a matrix chart to work on comparisons - similar to the what your grad student did - so that the students can record different aspects of the movies. My students are older, so I might also have them write a paragraph using the chart as their organizer. Thanks for the great idea!
ReplyDeleteFun, I'm so glad it was useful, especially since it took me just about forever to find these videos haha!
