Bring Film Literacy into Your Classroom with Professional Development Workshops!
The Labragirl Film Project offers over fifty different professional development workshops designed to help teachers equip their
students with critical thinking skills, media literacy, and real world history analytical skills.
Our workshops are housed in one of three different pedagogical categories:
Film Shaping History workshops explore how moving images shape our individual and collective understanding of the
past. Labragirl believes that it is important to explore these conversations because much of our individual and societal
understanding of the past comes from moving images. A Cinematic Society workshops use Labragirl's approach to film reading and academic conversation to look at how films
shape our modern understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
Bridging the Gap: Our Historical Conversation workshops explore the differences between the representation of
history and society in film and in the academic classroom. This series of classes, in particular, is dedicated to helping
students apply classroom skills in the real world and vice versa.
See reverse side for a list of Labragirl’s over 50 different Professional Development workshops.
