Bringing the ELA Classroom Back From the Dead: Utilizing Horror to Connect With Students and Reinvigorate the ELA Classroom
Abstract
In this chapter, authors explore the pedagogical potentials of using horror-based film and television in the English language arts classroom. The horror media genre offers unique opportunities for student engagement and discussion of literary elements, close reading, and increased awareness of social emotional response to texts. Furthermore, the narrative trope of the monster promotes analytical engagement with social and cultural critique. After providing a review of the literature on using film and horror in the classroom, the chapter will share a set of classroom scenarios using horror films and television to illustrate effective pedagogical practices for incorporating horror media in the classroom.
