Making Constellations: Teaching Students to Write about Films.
Hansbarger, Julian Clark
English Journal, v79 n7 p47-51 Nov 1990
Describes a high school advanced composition course which uses films and the metaphor of stellar constellations (a writer finding or imposing order and meaning in a chaos of ideas). Notes that most students understood this approach to criticism by the end of the course. (RS)
