TY - JOUR PY - 2007// TI - Wallace and Grornit: the Curse of the Were‐Rabbit ‐a study of modality, address, reading and response in contemporary children's film JO - English in education A1 - Hildrew, Chris SP - 86 EP - 99 VL - 41 IS - 2 N2 - This study examines the process of making meaning from a media text, exploring Curse of the Were-Rabbit as a successful example of contemporary film-making for children. It springs from working with a group of Year 8 students with literacy difficulties who made meaning from film with proficiency, skill and subtlety whilst struggling with the written word; it seeks to unpack the complexity of the process and hence reassess the value of media texts within the curriculum.
