CO Teaching and Remember the Titans
Remember the Titans as an example of CoTeaching
Creating a collaborative and cooperative environment can prove to be difficult at times, especially within an educational setting. Conflict within an educational setting, specifically athletics, is evident in Remember the Titans (2000). In the film, coach Herman Boone, played by Denzel Washington, must teach fellow staff members and students to overcome their social differences and preconceived notions of race in order to become a successful and "perfect" football team.
Remember the Titans (2000) is set in 1971 Virginia in the recently desegregated T.C. Williams High School. The central conflicts between T.C. Williams High School's former football head coaches, primarily coach Bill Yoast whom Boone is replacing, and black and white football players that are combined into a single football team instead of separate, segregated teams, center on issues of race. Coach Boone had several obstacles that he needed to overcome in order to be a successful educator. First,...
Boone was able to overcome his issues with Yoast by offering Yoast the opportunity to be in charge of coordinating the team's defensive strategy. While Yoast is an adult, the concept of coteaching is applicable in his case. Eileen M. Bowers (2004) argues "the goal of the coteaching or inclusive classroom is to make all children feel as though they belong and are as capable as everyone else" (p. 33). It is very important for Boone and Yoast to be able to work together if they are to successfully coach a team that is as divided as they are/once were.
Additionally, coach Boone must find a way to successfully integrate black and white football players and have them work together, as a team, to become football champions. As each group of players had someone they looked up to, creating an environment of inclusion was not only dependent on coach Boone, but also on Gerry Bertier, the captain of the formerly segregated white…

The outcome of all of this was a rock concert which -- aside from the actual happenstance of performances -- was heavily controlled by the interest of the filmmaker. Though various aspects of the concert-attendance experience indicate that great care was paid to the appeal of the event itself, there is an explicit self-consciousness on the part of the subject as to the grander intention of the captured film
Moreover, this aspect of the text investigates the 'language' of film in a way that causes us to appreciate the form's singularity. Such is to say that in this investigation of the surreal and culturally disturbing elements which have invaded film in spiritually sick societies, we are given a profound understanding of exactly why one might choose film as a way to formulate a language that is otherwise absent
It is only then that Neo-can begin to fulfill his role as the metaphorical intermediary between worlds. As McCullagh (1999) reports, "when Neo/Reeves wakes up from his VR slumber and unplugs from The Matrix, he joins a ragtag band of rebels led by the charismatic Morpheus (Lawrence Fishburne). Their plan: To overthrow the artificial intelligences that have robbed humanity of reality." (McCullagh, p. 1) The ambition to do so
Black Power Movement and Cinema of the 1960s and 1970s: A Discussion of Overlap As many scholars agree, all art is a product of its time. The social tensions, trends, patterns of thought and political issues of an era can’t help but influence the art that is created and consumed. This is particularly true with cinema and all forms of media arts. This paper will examine how the Black Power movement
The director makes this point very clearly in the scene where David and Dianna win some money. They tumble among the bills, consummating their love for money as much as, or more so than, their love for each other. The scene is quite remarkable even beyond the basic idea of sex literally on top of money. Lyne spends significant amounts of time exploring the cash-filled crevices of his stars. While
Film has the potential to provide multifaceted multimedia insight into a culture and community. Mexico has a rich and varied cinematic history, and the traditions and themes of Mexican filmmaking have naturally spilled across the border to influence Chicano-made films in the United States. When Chicanos produce, write, and direct their own films, they remain firmly in control of the ways their people and community are portrayed. Thus, film can
