Critical Pedagogy

It is important to use visuals in the classroom to help get the point of a lesson across to the students. Visuals can help illustrate something that students are having a hard time understanding. With race you can show specific situations and things from history. Also you can use movies to show different interactions and reactions to specific situations. Using movies or videos in the classroom can give the students another way to interpret a specific work. It also shows students what can be changed in translation or even lost in translation. Like if you watch the Harry Potter series and you did not read them then you would have no idea how much difference they had between the two.

A difference in time will also change how the story will be interpreted. If you read something that was written during the civil war now you would have a harder time understanding it from our view point with out closer observation and study. With greater study we can see the difference between thought now and then but if you just tell a student to read a book about life back then and leave it with little discussion and visual observation the students will lose something in translation.
