Using Popular Films Traditional Approach: Read/discuss a book or play, then afterwards see a popular film based on it (maybe as a reward). Media Literacy Approach: During the process of reading/discussing a book or play, show a scene from a popular film based on it and discuss how the story was told in the different formats (production choices, etc.).

“ D-Day Invasion: The greatest Military Feat in All History . Before dawn on June 6, 1944 (D-Day), the event for which the world had been waiting occurred. The Allied Nations landed troops on the beaches of Normandy… A Choppy sea and all kinds of underwater obstacles, including mines and barbed wire, slowed the first wave of Americans, Canadians and British to hit the beaches. From concrete fortifications, Nazi artillery and machine guns raked the beaches. But the careful preparation and the bravery of the Allies paid.” Excerpt from Our World Through the Ages The World History text used at Ithaca High School in 1967

“ The Opening of the Second Front: In June, 1944, when it had become obvious that the Soviet Union was capable of defeating Hitler’s Germany with her forces alone, England and the USA opened a second front. On June 6th the Allied forces, commanded by General Eisenhower, landed in Normandy (Northern France). The Anglo-American forces met with practically no opposition from the Hitlerites, and advanced to the heart of France. At the call of the French Community Party, an armed uprising began in Paris on 19 August. The Fascist garrison was defeated. In a few days the allied forces entered Paris which had been freed by the patriots.” Excerpt from Soviet High School History texts from 1967 The Russian Version of the Second World war
