Cardinal High School foreign language students recently took an interesting field trip to the Cleveland International Film Festival (CIFF)’s FilmSlam. FilmSlam aims to educate students about evaluating and
critiquing messages they perceive while viewing films. Students watched several short films, in either French or Spanish, and took notes paying close attention to cultural differences. Students then had to write a film review in the target language describing the movie and discussing cinematography, music and the sustainability of the film to American audiences. We’re told students enjoyed the experience and the assignment challenge!
