Close Study of a Film: Jane Campion's Bright Star

This extensive set (21 pages) of student worksheets breaks Campion’s biopic of John Keats into four sections for easy viewing in class. It contains 44 high-order thinking questions which require students to engage with the text-as-film, and to consider it as Campion’s own reading of Keats’ poetry. A final question asks them to write at length evaluating Campion’s presentation of Keats’ poetry and his relationship with Fanny Brawne.
