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

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 the first lesson in introducing CASABLANCA. The purpose is to introduce the philosophy behind a study of Classical Hollywood, specific to the a Classic film! It avoids getting ‘lost’ in a history lesson, but introduces some key terms, such as The Vichy, and challenges students to see the film in the film’s era and context of the emigree experience, and make links to the current emigree issues. It introduces some key film language which students will have to use in essay and exam writing - and has the link to the opening titles - which is viewed at the start and end of the lesson The PPT|S encourage discussion, students led note taking, and summarising. My expectation is students will have 2 sides A4 of their own notes ,and I would hand out the stills of the globe and maps.

I am providing this free as an update! November 2024 It is in the complete work unit - but I want to make sure anyone who bought the unit gets this free too!
