Abstract
This chapter describes self-study research that used qualitative methods to examine how films were incorporated into the secondary classroom. The study documents how popular culture movies were used in an urban high school history class to facilitate students' critical literacy. By viewing the film Enemy of the State, students were able to bridge their inside-of-school experiences with their outside-of-school practices. Incorporating popular culture movies into the history curriculum helped students shift their perspective of films from entertainment to sources of knowledge. Linking the film to the history curriculum helped students see how past events helped to shape contemporary life. Students were able to ask questions about broader social issues and engage in research to further explore topics raised in the film.
