In addition to enhancing student interactions with fictional works, this unit incorporates a variety of non-fiction readings and films. The unit includes a culminating project-based learning activity where students apply newly acquired knowledge especially as it relates the development of their own visual and cultural literacy.
Students blog regularly while critically viewing the films. Samples of previous Metropolitan Business Academy film studies student work may be found at http://introfilmatmetro.blogspot.com/.
