What draws you to the film?(why they interest you). Explain which genre you like best (drama, action, comedy, thriller, horror). Do you like to learn from movies, or do you prefer to just be entertained with a good plot. Finally, do you think that the movies you watch can indicate things about your personality or character?

(Denzel, use the Genocide film we did together - if others can't remember, use Genocide too.) 3. If you uploaded your documentary film to You Tube, would it be transformative use? Why? 4. Read slides 8, 11, & 12. All talk about how teachers can apply this code of best practices. Do you think teachers are cautious when using music or videos for curriculum?
