Overview
How to Choose Films for Your Classroom is designed to help you choose the right film for your learning community.
As you work through our tips, if you other suggestions or ideas for successfully adding film to your learning community come to mind, share them with us! We love hearing from educators.
Teaching Tips
Remember to check the MPAA rating of the film and to select films that are only appropriate to the students you are teaching. If you are teaching high school and a film that has been rated R by the MPAA would be a good fit, you may need to send a permission slip home unless a blanket permission slip was sent at the beginning of the school year.
We also recommended that you also have an alternative film and activity on hand for students who might not be allowed to view the R-rated film.
