Because so many instructors have found documentary films useful course resources for teaching everything from rhetorical analysis to use of sources to visual critique, in the fall ISUComm sponsors a documentary film series centered around cultural themes. In Fall 2006 there were four themes: artists, architects, science/technology, sports. Learning communities, thematic composition courses, and related courses in various disciplines may find one or more of these films useful as supplemental visual texts or as the central focus of a unit or assignment.
