In this 4-week course, you will learn to write a rhetorical analysis of a film by analyzing one of your favorite movies.
Class experience
I'm an English professor, and one of the skills that students need to have before coming to college is how to write a rhetorical analysis. This kind of writing requires you to understand the concepts of author, audience, text, and context. Movies are a great way to learn how to conduct a rhetorical analysis of any other text, including novels, essays, articles, and political speeches.

Students will learn about the concept of a rhetorical analysis, as well as the components that make up this kind of writing (author, audience, text, context). Students will practice writing a rhetorical analysis of a film of their choice.
I have been an English professor for 10 years. I teach Rhetoric & Composition to first year college students every year, and one of the key skills we work on is understanding what makes up a rhetorical analysis. I've been using movies as a strategy for teaching this concept for the past several years and find it to be a very successful method of explaining the concept, especially for students with less experience. That's why it is very easily adjusted to the younger age group that this class is designed for.
No additional materials. Students will need to be able to write about a movie they enjoy.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
The movies I use as examples will mostly be rated PG, with the occasional discussion of a PG-13 film (Harry Pottery & The Order of the Phoenix, for example). Other students in the class may be writing about and discussing movies with more mature content, but the conversation in the classroom will be academic and appropriate to the setting.
