Script Writing in English Class
An article I just read talked about video creating in the English classroom. At first, I was confused. This is because in my high school if a student wanted to learn about video creation and production, then they would have taken the class TVTech and joined the club after school. However, as I read the article, it made sense to touch on it in the classroom. As I read on I realized that I might have enjoyed writing scripts and such, or directing videos. Now I wish that my English Classes touched on the subject because it could have made a difference in my interests and possibly future. Also, I feel that script writing is an English technique and that the English classrooms should not skip over any forms of writing, especially not ones that could cause the students to be more interested into what is going on in class and less interested in what is happening on their cell phones.

I agree that teachers should try to touch on different things such as video production in the classroom. A lot of people if they were never forced to experiment with different things, would never do so because it is out of their comfort zone. A perfect example is us taking this class. If I was never forced to do so I would have never made a podcast or use any of the digital tools that we are learning to use. A lot of people just need a little push to try new things.
ReplyDeleteI agree Farmboy, though I do feel that part of the reason why script writing and production and such were never touched on in classrooms is because if the teacher can't do it, then how are they to teach the students.
