Course Description
In addition to gaining basic knowledge of the history and geography of the United States as well as basic knowledge of video and film, students will watch, discuss, and think about images related to American society (mainly movies). We will not passively look at the videos but watch them repeatedly. We will watch about 4 films per semester at most. Typically, we will watch a film in its entirety first and then review it in detail. Students will need to read the textbooks and handouts, watch the videos, think about them, and answer (and think about) the quizzes given.
*Please note that some movies may have a restricted rating.
