Gallipoli - Film Viewing Notes Worksheet

This worksheet is designed to encourage students to be active viewers of Peter Weir’s film, “Gallipoli”. Students are encouraged to record evidence from the film of the reasons given for enlisting, conditions at Gallipoli and the experience of war. The three large notes sections cater for students preferred note taking style: some may make dot point notes while others may prefer to mind-map. The five post-viewing questions guide students to consider Weir’s main message and intention, as well as a broader reflection on films as a secondary source.
