Curriculum: Image, Sound, and Story
Image, Sound, and Story
integrates short films and media projects into classroom culture and literacy instruction. The curriculum is guided by Jacob Burns Film Center’s experience working with over 200,000 young people: building skills of observation, comprehension, and analysis for viewing media and developing imagination, intention, and production skills in creating media. Learners communicate and collaborate with 21st century tools as they expand their traditional literacy practices of reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Each project in the curriculum is based upon a literacy concept. Click
