Trust the Fungus: Lessons in Media Literacy Learned From the Movies
Norton-Meier, Lori A.
Journal of Adolescent and Adult Literacy, v48 n7 p608-611 Apr 2005
The author asserts her belief that teachers can turn movies into "a tool that allows students to understand content in new and intellectually challenging ways." She tells a personal story of using movies in her teacher education program, helping her students "learn and extend their understanding. However, they not only learned about content, but they also learned about being media literate."
