"Ditch the Study Guide": Creating Short Films to Analyze Literature Circle Texts
Marlatt, Rick
Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, v63 n3 p311-321 Nov-Dec 2019
Implementation of digital literacies in secondary literature study can result in increased textual engagement and explorations of identity. The author describes the results of practitioner research at a Midwestern U.S. high school in which senior AP students created short films as a way to analyze literature circle texts. The purpose of the study was to understand how video storytelling can support young adult readers' literary analysis. The author used qualitative content analysis to analyze a focal participant's screenplay and film, as well as his transcribed commentary and interviews. Findings showed that his film reflected analyses that demonstrated engagement with literature, increased appetite for reading, and text-driven social interaction.
