Book Review: Reading in the Dark

So for my new years resolution I plan on reading more. I just finished this book last week so I thought I'd share a few points.

As an ESL teacher, I stupidly read English Classroom as ESL classroom.

However, I have no regrets reading this book.

I think for anyone wanting to teach middle school or high school students English should definitely consider reading this book and utilizing it in the class.

Just as well, I think intro film classes would benefit greatly from this as well.

I would have loved to have some of his class activities integrated my intro Film class my first semester of college.

In the beginning of this book he gives great advice on how to teach the films, and what students should look for while watching them.

Then he gives a lot of examples on which films to use and why.

On thing that did bother me is the weird font I ran across on some pages.. For no reason at all the font would change, and that's a little disturbing. Because that's the kind of thing you would see in something plagiarized. But that's just my opinion.

It's a quick read, and has great recourses.

Overall 4/5
