Teaching the numerous genres in the classroom today is extremely exciting, especially when I remember my years in schools. The lesson plans were boring, tedious and always the same. The attitude must of been if it ain't broke don't fix it, however "it" was broken and many years have passed without a tune-up.
What we need now is a major overhaul!
Beach presents a new way to explore the field of media technology which creates an atmosphere of inclusion. There are movies today which explore the life and times of different cultures. These types are now being introduced to the students in the classroom with encouraging results.
Reviewing different genres will provide a well-rounded view for the students. Teachers will help students develop a critical eye while watching many of these films. Analyzing and critiquing films also provide students with the abilities to move their skills outside of the classroom and in to the real world.
News and documentaries are important in the class and have always been apart of education. But once again the scope has widened to included all races and cultures. Which is necessary to develop the mind of all students.
The fast pace of the Internet and global information via CNN makes us connected with the world and the news is fresh and immediate. However teachers must be aware and try to provide information that is accurate. This is always not going to be the case and the students should understand that the news and documentaries are biased at times.
