How do I use this in the classroom?
I have used this with students as an end of term/semester project. It’s a great way to allow them a little bit of ‘down time’ watching the film, but still ensuring that there are linked tasks that reinforce English analysis skills. I ask students to work on their devices in pairs, then take one or two lessons for students to given their presentations. The analysis checklist really helps students keep on track and focus on evaluation of film techniques, rather than just re-telling the story.
All slides can be edited so that you can tailor them to your specific students.
