Whilst this targets A Level OCR it can be used for any board for revision: the PPT takes students through the basics of ACT 1, what really is the absolute minimum of expectation of knowledge [ teaching!]
It could be used as an online self paced module - it does have writing tasks and esssay question - a student could use this if they are concerned they need more than they have been taught, in progresive linear format
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 is a series of 5 knowledge organisers which build sequentially from each other introducing the form of the play, acts, context and moving onto the complicated ideas about how/if this is a comedy.
The 5th organiser focuses on Kates Act 5 speech and 3 of the organisers have prompt essay questions.
I have also attached a teacher viewing sheet of online video verision which had working links checked in August 2022 - obviously these can change
I also attach a copy of the 2012 Guardian review which is a helpful tool for classroom discussions.
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 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 a one off lesson - about 60 to 90 minutes - and has links for students to do further reading which is why it could take 90 minutes.
It has some excerpts from the controversial Ed West article in the Telegraph from 2011 which no longer seems to be online
Primarily this is guided lesson, wherein the student task is to summarised what they have learned and do some independant learning
Either class room or online
There once was a teachit resource for the two newsaper articles [ back in 2017] but you would need to source that yourself!
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 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.
This is a work book for Film studies - as the film has a high restricted rating, it is assumed this film is done in a Year 13 class after a year of film study - so this DOES NOT go over film language as it is assumed students have already been taught basics.
The workbook is structured to explore auteur: Tarantino as the Director and, as Music sound track auteur which has become his trademark. It looks at trademark shots such as the trunk shot - the elliptical narrative, the role of discombobulated dialogue, the casting
The work book could be use as part of a remote learning scheme, but would be better suited to explicit guided viewing. The role of how differently audiences react, hyper reality, binary theory is covered in questions students should respond to.
A few exam series in, I have added a short PPT based on how my students wrote about Formation and scored overall near 100% on MV questions - they were pushing for links that were out of the ‘box’ and drilling down on ‘media’ the artist and the poltics of Music |Videos per se- Hope it helps
Contains 4 PPTS
1] This is a 90 slide PPT introducing formation:
This is a teacher led PPT and covers:
Beyonce’s connection to the Black Panthers

Of the 90 slides about 12 are selections from the Music Video which focus on key moments suitable for evidence for writing task evidence - there are so many frames to choose from - what is included in this 90 PPT is A selection
This PPT is in a sense a generic unit - you may for example want to use the
2] DO NOW PPT which is a separate PPT at various stages interspersed in the main PPT I have assumed there is a general knowledge about cinematic terms and that is NOT included
3] PPT close analysis of 6 frames - this demonstrates to students how to use media language in dissecting frames each frame should have further analysis done by students - based on ‘I model, you know do’
4] PPT 4 is short extension PPT on mediated histroical stereotypes of Black women

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!

update from June 2023 - added a sentence starter PPT for exam revision post the Summer 2023 UK exam series
this resource has been re-written for the new eduqas film studies GCSE set texts global - and I am excited! I lobbied for this film to be considered so YAY!
The workbook has been updated [ april 2022] and has a detachable back page if you want to avoid the spoiler of Rosa. It’s 22 pages and will form an teaching and revision guide
The workbook takes the students through the who what and why - and with the PPTS should get them ready to answer some questions as well as provide a solid introduction to the satire of the film, the context and filming.
There are three PPTs ** see uodates now 5+ - the longest is aimed at film, but can work with an English subject eg the NZ curriculm and will fit into an extended media study of film
The two worksheets are to support film viewing for any of the subjects as the teacher can select the emphasis
The longer PPT has a research task, an end of module essay.
Youtube markers are current as at 27/09/2020
I anticipate adding to this so please check in for updates after the UK summer 2024 exams - although this film will not be examined until 2024 by eduqas. I will be uploading more questions in August 2024
This is a student workbook which allows them to view and make notes and explore in depth the ‘britishness’ of the film
The work would/should occupy about 8-10 lessons
I print it single sided and encourage them to build on the reverse pages there on own ideas and story boards so it become a solid revision tool for them
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 22 page workbook to accompany the film viewing of HURTLOCKER with the spcialist viewing information from the board included.
Students found this very helpful for revision and consolidating the big ideas but this work does assume students have a grounding in the language of film
It hass response sections but students should build from these writing prompt sections, the basic response to anticipated film questions
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.
