This is a 70+ slide PPT intoduction to Rocks; it breaks the viewing dowin into 3 slots reflecting it is a short film. The PPTs introduce various ideas about the film including it is has polyglot casting, largely female cast and productions crew, and in paticular this is British film. There are quite a few stills from the film for students to break down with an emphasis on mis en scene, and frame composition. This is one of a two part approach to Rocks for GCSE - however please note that both this INTRODUCTION assume the teacher knows how to teach film! There are short writing tasks, a check list template for students on short or even long writing tasks - some share pair work, and some background information

This resource is the first stage teaching of MOONLIGHT. I have focused on the assumption that students are grounded in the language of film. Ideology is over 2 PPTS - an includes a clip from BAD BOYS 4 [ 2024] as it is set in Miami and shows a contrast of hyper masculinity! PPTS 1- 3 are in teaching and viewing order There PPTS on Chiron/Black and Juan, Cinamotography, theory, the film playlist ( sound is linked on ideology] and a genreic film screening template which I print on A3 - two copies per student, a PPT in theory linked to MOONLIGHT This will be added to maybe, after September 2024, and if you see something added , please message me if you can not access for free after your first purchase!

This is a first run 30 PPT introduction to the film/documentary and 3 further PPTS - connecting F is For Fake Orson Welles to Exit, one asking Who is Banksy and one asking who is Guetta All have some essay questions to encourage students to think more deelpy about the complexity of fake versus fictions, authenticity, art and art fraud, and the role of graffiti It assumes it will be teacher led and the main PPT is approximately 1/2 before and 1/2 post viewing I introduce ideas about authenticity, cinema verite, voice over narration, and there is a slide in which the I list the sequences - this would be best printed for students! There are writing ideas and discussion points I have assumed students have a knowledge of the language of film and therefore the deep dives are limited to what is more unique to the documentary This should cover somewhere between 3-5 lessons excluding viewing

I first taught Memento for A Level equivalent classes in 2005, until 2011 when it was dropped from the curriculm in favour of Tarantino’s Inglorious Basterds! Students fell into two groups usually. Hated or loved Memento. By 2010, most were commenting that it did not feel original This resource is much updated version of a workbook and a PPT which reflects that I do not think there are any spoilers for the film because of the multiplicity pf interpretations of ending. This resource assumes students will have had at least a one term of teaching film at at senior level. Obviously, this film is not for novice teaching! The resource has been re-worked for the Eduqas/WJEC board - I think their fact sheet reource is a little off piste ? And at the heart of teaching this is remembering the Nolan of 2000 is quite a bit different to the Nolan of 2023 and Oppenheimer. I may add more - if for any reason you can not acces an update - message me and I will forward it to you
