Week 1: First class will include introductions. Clips from previous MCU films will be shown to learn film and pop culture analysis as they relate to Wanda and Vision, and recap what they went through. Clips outside of MCU content will be shown as well to describe the evolution of sitcoms.
Homework: Watch episodes 1+2
Week 2: This class will discuss intertextuality and genre mixing. MCU is usually...- Students will learn terminology as it relates to film analysis and popular culture analysis. They will be able to enhance their critical thinking skills because they will practice analyzing WandaVision as a text for academic study.
Students tend to be more engaged when they have an actual interest in the content; I personally found that learning how to write well was easier when it involved topics I enjoyed rather than being forced to read books I found outdated and boring in high school. When I joined Outschool, I wanted to teach writing while also focusing on subjects that I am passionate about, and that students may be passionate about as well. While earning a degree in English, I learned how to write quality essays on numerous topics including film studies, which is a part of English that is both interesting and engaging; learning how to write film analyses truly enhances one's critical thinking skills. As a teacher, I like to create courses that are both challenging and fun.
