To All the Boys I've Loved Before (2014) by Jenny Han (TV-14, 2018) is an example. Increasingly, they're using young adult literature as their starting point. These companies are very aware of their teen audiences. Netflix, Amazon Films, and Hulu are just a few of the growing streaming services producing original content. For instance, the Common Core standards ask eighth graders to "analyze the extent to which a filmed or live production of a story or drama stays faithful to or departs from the text or script, evaluating the choices made by the director or actors." Whether watching feature films and video shorts or television programs, today's students need to be active and critical viewers. When exploring standards and benchmarks for learning, you'll be surprised at the many references to media literacy.
Films provide the opportunity to keep students connected to young adult literature and draw them into both academic and leisure reading experiences. With personal, social, and school demands, many teens move away from reading during their teen years. The film (PG-13,2018) was able to extend the reading experience, but it also stands on its own. Recently, the young adult novel The Hate U Give (2017) by Angie Thomas spotlighted growing concerns about the deaths of young black men at the hands of police officers. Whether it's a true story shedding light on an important social issue or a work of fiction drawing attention to a universal experience, film can be a powerful learning experience. Compelling feature-length films can change lives.
