Horror Film Bundle 1 - Movies with Print & Digital Resources - Genre Unit

This Horror film bundle of viewing logs and film-literary analysis guides gives students structure for watching four movies: Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, King Kong (1931), and Psycho. The Horror Film Slideshow - with note-taking guide - provides a brief introduction to the genre and helps focus students on horror elements before viewing. If you focus on 1-3 analysis standards that you want students to master, they will use guides on character, setting, foreshadowing, conflict, and/or suspense to enhance these skills by applying to a digital text (movie).

Two of the greatest challenges when integrating video into a high school curriculum are students’ engagement with the digital text - what they will DO with the information from the movie - and standards - how this activity will help students achieve course goals. Giving students guided questions and activities to complete provides them structure while viewing; following up with literary and cinematic analysis encourages them to process the information and bring their individual insights to a digital work.

Recently, NCTE released a statement on the reading of nonprint/digital texts. Learning how to read these digital texts/movies/films is essential understanding for ALL students as our world becomes more digital and visual. 50% or more of the text students encounter on a daily basis is in a digital format. By providing a framework for students to view and engage with a film, you will guide them to understand how a movie is both like and different from a written text (novel, short story, play). And then as you walk students through a comparison-contrast discussion, you will help them develop an appreciation for the medium of film.
