Spotlight On Learning
Presented by: Johanne Sauve
Subject: Cinema et Litterature Francophones 11
Driving Question: What books/movie/program had an impact on you when you were younger?
TEACHER DESCRIPTION and/or REFLECTION:
Students were asked to think of an art form (book, movie, etc.) that influenced them when they were younger and had an impact on who they are today. They had to talk about the values they learned from that book(s), movie, and how it had a lasting impact. They had to describe that product but also convince their peers of its positive impact so that they too would explore that art form.
STUDENT REFLECTIONS:
I enjoyed the final project because it was a good way for us to talk about ourselves in a nostalgic sort of way and reconnect with our youth. I really enjoyed listening to other people’s presentations. It was unique because hardly anyone chose the same book or movie or tv program. It even made our teacher nostalgic because she had enjoyed some of the same things as us. For example, someone chose the tv series Little House on the Prairie.
