MOVIES THAT YOU CAN SHOW IN CLASS ROOMS

To teach the block titled Frames of Culture we can screen a number of films in class rooms.Teachers usually show Pather Panchali as part of it.But, for this, an afternoon or morning is borrowed from others(other teachers) and a full show is arranged.As most of the movies are of 80 or 90(or more) minutes duration,English Teachers find it difficult to screen all the movies mentioned in the text books.
The movies mentioned in the text books are mainly :
1.Elippathayam by Adoor Gopalakrishnan
2.Bicycle Thieves by Vittorio De Sica.
3.Ikiru by Akira Kurosava
4,The Kid by Charlie Chaplin

Nilambur Cluster Blog formation

      Higher Secondary Teachers of English in Nilambur cluster of Malappuram District decided to form a blog to discuss teaching and related issues to excel their professional knowledge.
      Especially teachers are going to teach the blocks on environmental issues and movie making in the first and second year classes. It requires a number of teaching aids to transact the units effectively.

      A few teachers narrated their experience in the first term and suggested methods and designs to be used in classrooms viz. the need for peer learning- evaluation, remedial classes to teach grammar and using power point presentation with the help of LCD projectors etc.
    The members of this cluster have agreed to sign up in the followers' area of this blog.
