Teaching with film is not a new approach in the social studies
classroom. Different publications, such as Hollywood or History,
have bridged the gap with challenges attached to using historical
film and engage students through inquiry, not entertainment. To
continue with the Hollywood or History strategy, this text uses
television shows (sitcoms) to brings issue-centered curriculum to
middle and high school classrooms. By exploring issues in specific
episodes, students can learn the history behind an issue, relate it
to their lives, and develop an informed decision associated with
the issue. The College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) framework is an
integral part to the exploration of issue-centered curriculum. In
each chapter, the students will work through the four dimensions
and develop critical thinking, reading, and writing skills. My hope
is that this text can play a small role in walking practicing
teachers through the C3 framework while allowing students to learn
about issues that affect society and the communities where they
live.

Reality, Magic, and Other Lies: Fairy-Tale Film Truths explores
connections and discontinuities between lies and truths in
fairy-tale films to directly address the current politics of fairy
tale and reality. Since the Enlightenment, notions of magic and
wonder have been relegated to the realm of the fanciful, with
science and reality understood as objective and true. But the
skepticism associated with postmodern thought and critiques from
diverse perspectives - including but not limited to anti-racist,
decolonial, disability, and feminist theorizing - renders this
binary distinction questionable. Further, the precise content of
magic and science has shifted through history and across location.
Pauline Greenhill offers the idea that fairy tales, particularly
through the medium of film, often address those distinctions by
making magic real and reality magical. Reality, Magic, and Other
Lies consists of an introduction, two sections, and a conclusion,
with the first section, "Studio, Director, and Writer Oeuvres",
addressing how fairy-tale films engage with and challenge
scientific or factual approaches to truth and reality, drawing on
films from the stop-motion animation company LAIKA, the independent
filmmaker Tarsem, and the storyteller and writer Fred Pellerin. The
second section, "Themes and Issues from Three Fairy Tales", shows
fairy-tale film magic exploring real-life issues and experiences
using the stories of "Hansel and Gretel", "The Juniper Tree\2, and
"Cinderella". The concluding section, "Moving Forward?" suggests
that the key to facing the reality of contemporary issues is to
invest in fairy tales as a guide, rather than a means of escape, by
gathering your community and never forgetting to believe. Reality,
Magic, and Other Lies-which will be of interest to film and
fairy-tale scholars and students-considers the ways in which fairy
tales in their mediated forms deconstruct the world and offer
alternative views for peaceful, appropriate, just, and
intersectionally multifaceted encounters with humans, non-human
animals, and the rest of the environment.
