Teen screen is an educational service that allows teens of all different backgrounds and learning styles to come together and explore difficult topics through film.
How Teen Screen works
- A teacher picks a film from the Teen screen lineup covering various topics.
- Teen screen provides a study guide for the film and a optional classroom experiences provided by other educators.
- Stdeunst them meet to watch the film.
- Students then discuss the film openly and honestly with other educators and with one another.
- Students then write a reflection on the film
Tools Like this can be very useful to me as a history teacher. After looking through the library of teen screen films, they have many historical films. I think it can be very helpful when discussing difficult historical topics.
One response to “Teen Screen”
Hi Simoesa1! When I first saw the title of you blog I would’ve guessed it was
about teens and their excessive usage of phones and devices! As interesting
as that would have been your blog is so much better. I think it is amazing that
students from different background and learning styles can come together to
learn about something. It also it a fun and creative way to introduce new
topics to students, kind of like a huge movie night! I loved the example of
using it for history class, it would be a great tool for historical films. Great
blog and next time I’ll bring popcorn!
