Here's
how the MovieLit curriculum works:
- Subscriber receives
Student's Handbook(s)
with study guide for videos of literary
masterpieces, and Teacher's
Handbook with descriptions of
each video available, introductory material, quiz
score keys, guidance for grading essays.
- Teacher and
student(s) decide which videos they will use,
selecting 17 from a list of 25 choices*; this allows latitude to
omit 8 selections based on students' interest,
family's entertainment standards, etc.
- Subscriber may rent
or purchase videos by whatever means they prefer;
we recommend a subscription to Netflix (see
“Curriculum costs” below).
- Teacher may choose
to grade the final essay for each unit, or retain
MovieLit staff for professional grading.
Advantages of
this unique video-based curriculum:

traditional reading programs with high-interest,
high-quality videos.

introduces a broad range of literature that might
otherwise require two or more years for many
students to read.

preparatory composition exercises.

enjoy together, featuring videos pre-screened for

preparation skills: Grapes of Wrath,
Nicholas Nickleby, Hamlet, Moby Dick, Our Town, A Man for
All Seasons, Les Miserables, Ben-Hur, Twelfth Night,
