Knowing the learning styles of your students

HI John - Thanks for your post to the forum. I like your idea of basing the reading assignments on research related to the films they are watching. I'm sure that adding some "controversy" to the assignments is a challenge but as you say, the students enjoy it! Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan
