Teaching visual literacy
POSTED: OCTOBER 25, 2012
- Critical thinking and learning to "read" a film are among the goals in studying classics like Citizen Kane.
This is my brief rationale for (and definition of) “film literacy,” a skill that my students must master in my film classes as well as in today’s screen-oriented world.

She expected that setting up the template for the initial order would take some time, but, once its set, the idea is, you point and click and save yourself an hour and a half each weekend.
