Class Experience

Lets talk movies! During these classes, we will take a look at different aspects of different movies. We will cover the actors, directors, production crew, theme, story line, and budge of different movies. Students are expected to have watched the film BEFORE class starts so that they are able to join in on the discussion. I have tried to mix together serious films with fun comedies. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Please message me if you have any questions. 

** Some of these movies are rated PG-13 or R and may contain violence, adult language or behavior. I advise all parents to watch these films before their children watch them. I have listed the rating after each title.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
Parents should check the rating of each movie as ratings vary in different countries. Some movies may contain cursing, adult situations, violence, sexism, discrimination, and racism. All discussions will be at an age appropriate level. I suggest checking Commonsensemedia.com for the recommended age for each movie. There may be some Youtube videos that are seen during this class. I will share my screen and learners will not need to access them on their own.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree from Louisiana State University
I have been an educator on Outschool since February of 2018. I have my MBA and MHA, both of which have taught me the value of conducting research and asking questions.  I have a passion for history, organization, reading, and learning. You can usually find me in the middle of 2-3 books or watching a documentary.

I am also an Outschool ACE Educator, which means that I continually seek out ways to improve my teaching skills and knowledge, as well as the learner experience. Some of the seminars/courses that I have attended in the past are: Foundations for Teaching and Learning About Native Americans; The Presence and Absence of Asian America: What Truths Lie Beyond the Headlines; Using the “Diary of Anne Frank” to Amplify Students’ Voices; Painting a Just Picture – Art and Activism.
