Gear Up for the 2017-2018 School Year
with Two Free Online Tools from
the Jacob Burns Film Center's
Image, Sound, and Story Curriculum
The Jacob Burns Film Center's Image, Sound and Story Curriculum includes View Now Do Now mini-projects designed to spark your creativity and quickly get you into the act of viewing and doing. Each View Now Do Now is based on one of our ten Image, Sound, and Story media literacy concepts and consists of an image or film clip paired with an open-ended prompt.
The JBFC Education department has curated an online, interactive resource that defines film vocabulary in real time using a selection of fantastic film clips featuring young protagonists. Janet Matthews, Educator at Westlake High School in New York wrote about using the curriculum and the Visual Glossary:
"The power of pairing texts and clips can have a profound effect. There is no doubt that using Image, Sound, and Story's Visual Glossary is a game-changer in writing instruction, moving students from writing words to becoming directors of words."
