Written by an experienced examiner and consultant, this booklet on Tsotsi, directed by Gavin Hood in 2005, provides a huge range of activities. Some of the work includes: the context of South Africa, including details on apartheid, key facts and information on the making of the film, systems for keeping notes during watching with templates using the Cornell notes system. There are also in-depth details on key scenes, dozens of screenshots from the film as well as images from other relevant areas that have influenced the film. There are also dozens of activities for students including mock exam questions, comprehension questions on location, characters and more. PLUS: guidance on how to analyse scenes from the film using hexagaonal learning and summary sheets to help with revision. Key scene analysis include links to the specific scenes or extracts, hosted permanently on YouTube, so you don’t even need a copy of the film to complete some of the tasks-again, perfect for students to complete! Many of the tasks have also been designed to be peer or self-assessed and there is a wide variety of solo work, paired work or group work catered for, with each activity described in detail at the beginning of each task.

This guide has been written so that it can be used in a variety of ways; print and use as a ready-to-go scheme of work in a booklet. Maybe give to students as a detailed homework that can be completed alongside your own classroom work. It also works great for revision, either with individual task printed or again, as a whole booklet. Try printing individual pages as starters or plenaries, or even using the tasks as engaging resources for lessons built around key ideas of your own.

Your download will be a zip folder which contains 4 version of the same document, with no watermarks on any page. It also comes with Microsoft Word and Mac OSX versions so that you can edit and do as you like with it, as well as a high quality PDF version and a compressed PDF version that is a much smaller size.

Designed to help in the delivery of GCSE Film Studies, this guide focuses on Component 2 Global Film. This guide focuses on the key aspects of Representation and film language, as per the Eduqas Specification.
