Abstract

This chapter presents both practical and theoretical support for educators to incorporate literacy learning into elementary classrooms. Clear connections between fanfiction and mentor texts provide examples of how film can mentor student writing. Multimodal classroom activities, focused on literacy skill development, showcase a variety of instructional strategies related to both reading and writing. Each literacy activity utilizes film as a foundation for student understanding of skills and to support successful completion of assigned tasks.
