Pan’s Labyrinth: An Interdisciplinary Movie Guide for High School
Description:
The concept of the motion picture/movie study guide used here is taken from those developed by The Australian Teachers of Media (ATOM) and, more recently in the United States, by Walden Media. The approach is also consistent with the series, Film Clips for Character Education, sponsored by The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (www.filmclipsonline.com). Appalachian State University has pioneered this work in the U.S. and our curricular work with movie guides has been featured in The Middle Ground and The Journal of Media Literacy among other publications. AppState includes Media Literacy as a core aspect of their teacher education program in both undergraduate and graduate programs.
