*Call for Lesson Plans: Teaching with Media Education Foundation *

Films produced and/or distributed by the Media Education Foundation 
(MEF) have become commonplace in media studies classrooms. Documentary 
films and video lectures allow instructors to bring new visual and 
conceptual components of the course to life in the classroom, enhancing 
lecture and reading material and supporting visual or auditory learners. 
/Teaching Media Quarterly/ is interested in learning and sharing how 
instructors teach with educational films. We want to know about how 
educators contextualize specific films within their course, which 
readings they assign in conjunction with films, pre- and post-viewing 
discussion activities and prompts, and reflections on the successes and 
failures of teaching with documentary films.

Contributors are asked to consider the following questions:

·What activities, lectures, and discussions do you pair with a specific 
MEF film?

·How does the film relate to other media topics in your class such as 
sexism, climate change, racism, culture industries, heteronormativity, 
classism, media consolidation, consumerism, advertising, or network 
television?

·How do you contextualize a specific MEF film within the larger scope of 
your course?

·What readings do you assign in conjunction with your chosen MEF film? 
How do you connect them through discussion, assignments, lectures, or 
class activities?

·What are common responses from students after viewing MEF films? What 
are common responses, including “ah ha!” moments and topics that need 
more clarity?

Please visitthe MEF website (mediaed.org <http://mediaed.org>) for a 
current list of MEF films orsee if your college or university has 
streaming access. Although we would prefer submitters use films produced 
or distributed by MEF, we are open to submissions that use other 
educational films as pedagogical tools.

*The deadline for submissions is _February 1, 2019_*
