How teachers are using Swank:
Course: ELA
Academic Use: I like using "La Luna" and other Pixar shorts to show elements of story telling and how you can share emotions without words. Typically I would use a short with a character, setting, plot, theme, or beginning middle end story map so that the students can see how storytelling progresses.
Course: Elementary
Academic Use: "Zootopia" It will help students identify literary techniques.
Course: n/a
Academic Use: "Finding Forrester" Students will watch and discuss the challenges of peer pressure, and environmental influences and how they can affect your dreams and aspirations you have for yourself.
Course: What In The World
Academic Use: Discuss culture-Day of the Dead
