Program Overview
The Story and Film Workshop for Educators is designed for high school teachers who are interested in using the techniques of screenwriting to enhance their curriculum. The Story and Film Workshop combines the study of literature and film, providing tools for critical analysis of literature and increasing literacy skills while encouraging students to write their own stories and screenplays.
Young people today have technological sophistication and digital fluency that most of their teachers and parents cannot fully appreciate. The media component of the Story and Film Workshop allows students to build on their facility with digital media as they increase other skills. Instructional strategies are designed to reach students with different learning styles to increase literacy, improve grammar, vocabulary and writing skills.
Interlochen Center for the Arts is an authorized provider of continuing education units (SB-CEUs) as approved by the Michigan State Board of Education. Michigan educators participating in the Story and Film Workshop for Educators may be able to receive SB-CEUs.
