Dear Salim, One thing that works for me is to get serious about film. It's no secret that a lot of our students gather information visually. There are a few films that work as well as any book. A film I recommend for students is The Little Prince, a newer film that was released by Netflix. Indeed, many animations films can spark interesting conversations about plot, character, themes, etc. In this time of social distancing, turning films into learning opportunities is a great way around these times. Warmly, Dr. Michael Grafals
