Sure, a movie based on a good book can be an excuse for not reading the book, but when viewed immediately after reading, it can also provide many benefits for your students. The movie can help clarify difficult concepts or scenes that your students may have missed. Great discussion questions and writing prompts come from examining the differences between the book and the film. And a movie is a great reward for a class that has struggled through a difficult book.
Sounder is a brilliant historical fiction portraying, through the eyes of a young boy, the injustices experienced by an African–American family in the post–Reconstruction South. This is the DVD version of the film.
