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
