This is a stand alone lesson - it would take 2-3 hours to complete - it could be set for online, or if a student feels they need more than they have been taught - this is what revision should look like and could be done collaboratively online It is is best teacher led and requires a teacher to have a sound knowledge of the play Contains essay task - suitable for OCR but this will work with any A level board

UPDATED 20 AUGUST 2020 This is work book intended for A Level students ( film study) using the current curriculum for Eduqas (WJEC) board with the first exams 2019. ( I think it is impossible to teach spectatorship witihout acknowledging casting choices in light of#blacklives matter and the wake of #metoo) Update includes an extra page towards the end on more sound information The resource focuses on Spectatorship, but assumes that some spectatorship has already been taught. As this film has attaracted over 50!! PHD thesis - I have got this down to what I think is a manageable 25 pages ( just under 6,500 words) with some student interaction, but all the interaction comes back to what will be the key question focus for the 2019 - 2021 exams with this film - spectatorship. The key scenes I have targeted are the coin toss, and the motel scene post Moss death, with sections on camera, lighting, costumes, and of course the Coen’s and Deakin. There are many themes one could chose - I have included Nihilism, religion , ageing, law and order, as they seem the most obvious and will I hope write up well in the exams. I have not done much focus on the acting because I have assumed that any teacher would easily identify that its realism, and method with the main three! I have left this as a word document - so you can alter adapt and personalise as you wish - or not if you choose - but I do ask that you do not distrubute this online.

UPDATES Jan 2024 - New Music PPT to support CONTEXT & PPT Gender and Race - New Hollywood [ revision ] This workbook is 30+ pages to support A Level film study - for the Eduqas exams 2019 + . The PPTS have beem added to: tfor example the rise of the BUPPIE The workbook covers initial reactions to the film with some original reviews, it has sections on cinematograpy, props and costume, context and narrative, with a strong focus on Lee the auteur : celebrity auteur or ‘sellebrity auteur’. It looks into Mookie: the hero or anti hero, and the complexity that Lee wrote, directed and starred in the film. There is a model scene analysis, and prompt for students to start their own. There are plenty of opportunities for students to record their own responses, and work alone, but this workbook is designed to be used with teacher support, and peer interaction. There are discussion prompts, questions to begin paragprah writing to build into essay responses that address that this film is part of Component A - a comparative study. ( Although this workbook is stand alone and does not assume which film it will be paired with) I like these books to be visually appealing so they look best when printed in colour. Please be respectful and do not put this work on line for your students. It is a word format so you can easily modify and insert your school logo etc., if you want. UPDATED 2024

This is where maths meets English - this resouce tackles the maths in the marking and the bare bones focus on Section B AQA - ultimately students need a grade 4 and Sections B is worth half the marks The resources does not contain endless revision practise but explains each action, or inaction they take will have consequences on how marks, awarded positively can, or can not be achieved. It firmly suggests that the two papers section Bs worth 80/160 marks must be a priority, and if you are not teaching with that in mind, this won’t help you :) The PPt goes over the basics, examples some sentence startes for creative writing, and concludes with some quaisi provocative news articles to generate students having a point of view: it includes the news story about ‘john’ the primary teacher living out of his car [ jan 2024] I have always found this back to basics - this is how marks are scored - centres the weaker students on the 4 - this is not suitable for the students aiming for 6 and above - it is very suitable for EAL

This is an information PPT - not especially interactive, I used for a very low level Year 10 - who were struggling with Sherlock Holmes and the context (Sign of F|our) - - I had them self select two important pieces of self selected information from the slides and then research from the last slide - no surprise what they gravitated to with screams of horror! [ spoiler alert contraception in the 19th century] and nearly as popular of course, Jack the Ripper and media students explored the media aspects of the influence of newspapers for cross curricula

This is a revision lesson, not an introduction lesson, which focuses on what if LONDON is the main poem for Power and Conflict in 2022? Or if you want to use LONDON for the conrast/compare poem! The PPT takes through ideas for students who have heard of pathos and logos for example, it has four practise questions, it condenses quotes to the main quotes, and easiest high level techniques. It has a comparogram slide for the students to self select what would work with LONDON ( and you can adapt that for any of the 15 poems!) Working through the PPT excluding the exam question practise would suit 60 to 90 minute lesson It also has a no jargon breakdown of the AOs

This is for students studying THE BIG ISSUE [TBI] It includes references to the Sgt Pepper cover used in the 2021 November exam series. PPTs cover TBI going digital and the impact of covid Issue practise with Marcus Rushford Digital impact and key word practise: bricolage homage Theorist used Clay Shirkey

This is a collection of resources compiled over the past 15 years! They are a combination of teacher led, homework, group work, suiting lower to higher level groups. Some is very much stand alone lessons, and they are resources I dip in and out of yearly, updating and changing as cohorts bring new challenges or ideas. Macbeth has been my old friend since my A Level days, in another century - I hope you find something in here useful!

This contains two PPTS revised as at February 2023 - one is a general revision to compare and contrast the set texts from Mars and Beyonce and the second PPT is a an in depth refresher on Mars uptown funk Neither need teacher support - but if teacher led would take 2-3 lessons to work through There are some exam style questions - with guidance on ’ get to the point’ style answers, stongly focussed on there are no points in waffle! There are slides with core vocab refreshers.

This is single lesson - or home learning - final prep for GCSE. It is directed to students who are aware that essays by rote, memory will and are being marked down in the UK GCSE exams - across all examining boards. This PPT is for students aiming above a 5 - who can consider safe, but bolder ideas about Lady Macbeth. It poses some accessible ideas, a sample essay writing but the emphasis is to challenge outdated and pedestrian ideas about Lady Macbeth. This PPT should challenge students to place her: in context to a contemporary reader/audience to understand her limits as wife/ schemer to use single word quotes to explain to prepare for any question on her

This is a last push lesson - can be student led/ home learning It focuses on pushing to write coherently and accurately

PPTS, work book and essay template I have been teaching Pans Lab., since 2008 and there are heap of resources out there: this is suitable for IB or A Level - I have used fo both. It is MY take on how to teach it, over 20 hours including film viewing. Th resources require teacher guidance, except the one PPT of pre viewing - this is my curated guide for students to work through by themselves before any teaching/viewing of the film! I have updated it October 2021 - if there are broken links please let me know! The remaining PPTS - are for one guided teaching and vewing, one for cinematography, and one for revision pre exam - so four in total. The work book is word doc and editable: and the word template doc is for PETAL structure paragraphs to build a structured essay for film. Do check back as I am compiling a resource PPT - eg magazines and exam questions - I have the 2021 UK Autumn papers and will be paraphrasing from and you can down load that when it is available!

This is a 20 slide PPT suitable of AS Level revision wit a focus on: humour context types of poetic style in the tale It has 7 questions that if answered in paragprahs will consolidate learning This is NOT an introduction PPT - it is REVISION

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 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

For Sama is a complex documentary. A talking head, set in Syria, by a citizen journalist, in which some 500 hours of footage was reduced to under two hours, and with the addition of a co-director who had never been to Syria The resource is 6 PPTs which reflect how I have taught in, not introducing the awkward question of propaganda until the last - they spread over 7 hours and do not at this stage contain revision . [ when I get to that point I will add and you can acces the new material] I have avoided the political quagmire of Syria, and suggested a fairly neutral position for teaching, but given/gave some research tasks to encourage students to find their own position, so they can address spectatorship authentically. There is a dedicated PPT to spectatorship with a range of tasks which can be oral / peer to peer or written When I do revision - I expect to allow four hours and a full second viewing but as the film is widely availale online - I also assume teachers may well set it for holiday work too.

This is only suitable as a revision lesson for An Inspector Calls It highlights easy to learn quotes , and has a plenary task for Eva/Daisy It is a lesson I have tweaked over the years and is especially suitable for students struggling with key ideas about the main characters.

I put the OCR marksheets into a word doc so I could play around with it more easily Eg student name - insert a detailed feedback after the level is awarded Comes from the board obviously - I put in bold what I think are the key words when marking Feedback most welcome

This is a quick half lesson worksheet for AQA power and conflict Agard’s poem The worksheet reminds students to focus on key quotes - refresh analysis and to re-consider context. It is not a first wave introduction to the poem! The worksheet refers to a short youtube clip about ingrained racism ( Taikai Waititi’s parody 2 minutes long) to help students to connect to higher order ideas about humour being used to deflect serious issues

This is a free introduction to SPIES the Fritz Lang for Eduqs Film study - it is a support work book for the silent film section A Level exam
