Video Review: Edutainment and Understanding? Recall our ear…
Video Review: Edutainment and Understanding? Recall our earlier discussion of “edutainment” summaries as tools for learning (video summaries that combine educational content with entertainment). Below is another example, an episode of “Its Lit!” from PBS, called “Don’t Know Much About BEOWULF? Nobody Does!” Task Based on your reading and understanding of the Beowulf epic, how well does the PSB video below overview Beowulf? To what degree do the production’s entertainment elements help or hinder understanding of Beowulf? Support your response with concrete examples from the video and the written text that you have read. Requirements Your response must be far more substantial than your discussion responses. This is an informal essay exam, not an informal conversation. Although this is not a Composition I or II essay, use your essay-writing skills from ENG 101 and ENG 102 to help you structure and edit your response.
