		<description><![CDATA[Family and children&#8217;s films that deliver more than clichéd and tired good-versus-evil dichotomies laden with gender role stereotypes, gratuitous violence, and the subtle hypersexualization of young girls are hard to come by. If you are as fed up with the formulaic plot driven junk churned out for children by American cinema as I am, check [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been reading Dave Eggers&#8217; collection of short fiction entitled How We Are Hungry and found myself underlining passages throughout. They seem important, as if I will return to them again at some point. So, I thought I would jot them here, using this post as a kind of commonplace book. So much of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This film came across the wire recently. It&#8217;s a great little piece about unschooling. Mauser-Carter is using it as a means to raise funding for a feature length film she plans to make on the subject. The film does a fine job of offering authentic perspectives on an oft-misunderstood approach to life, learning, and parenting. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stumbled upon this short animated film by Ryan Woodward recently. It&#8217;s a beautiful 3 minutes and 4 seconds if you&#8217;ve got the time to spare. In this two-dimensional narrative of movement, Woodward offers us a glimpse at the fleeting nature of our relationships as we touch, dance, and let go. The musical score is called [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Paradise Now directed by Hany Abu-Assad is the kind of film that reminds one that the story we hear in western media is but one story, and an aggregate political one at that. It is not the story of individuals&#8211;of the people living in the midst of daily conflict, of occupation, oppression, and fear. This [...]]]></description>

The debate usually begins when I encounter either one of two stances on the issue: 1) sometimes nothing happens in a story, there is no particular conflict, and the characters never change, or 2) everyday life is boring, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Narrative perspective, or point-of-view (POV), is an essential element of fiction writing. It is also a difficult concept for some beginning students to get their minds wrapped around. As a way to introduce variations in narrative perspective, I use film clips to demonstrate how POV can effect the narrative. This method comes with some pedagogical [...]]]></description>

Roger Brown argues that inasmuch as language is representative, all language is metaphorical. Lakoff and Johnson tell us that metaphors are &#8220;concepts we live by&#8221;&#8211;constructs that shape how we talk, how we understand the world [...]]]></description>
