Bridging the Gaps: From Reading to Critique in Teaching the Media.
Reid, Mark
English in Education, v28 n3 p3-10 Fall 1994
Explores how teachers can help their students look for meaning in the visual media. Presents the theory that students object to looking for meaning in certain forms of visual media, because they dislike having their world complicated with unnecessary interpretive searching. Discusses the results of several class exercises adapted from David Mamet's book on filmmaking. (PA)
