In <\/span>our last post<\/span><\/a> we <\/span>discussed using horror films in our classes to teach both sociological concepts and critical analysis of media. <\/span>Here is a template of a movie analysis assignment<\/span><\/a> you can adapt to your own classes. You\u2019ll want to change at least the parts in <\/span>red <\/b>(and maybe others depending on your course structure)<\/span>. We recommend assigning a podcast episode as a reference for how to sociologically analyze movies. We\u2019ve had enthusiastic student response to these assignments! <\/span><\/p>\n

Below are our film recommendations based on course topic.<\/b><\/p>\n
