Kia Ora, Exam prep PPT added 2024 UK series updarted Janu 2024! too with three new PPTS including one which gives a short but important factual details about NZ/ being Maori and Jewish which is Waititi’s background! One linking gender and humour in the film there is also and 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

Pulp Fiction student work book

(0)
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.

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

Promising Young Women A Level film study plus workbook

This is constructed for examination purposed for the UK exam boards for A Level UPDATED April 7 2024 workbook - in word doc The workbook has been updated as I continue teaching this, with real world student input. I have dipped more into ideology- gender, misogyny, continued looking at the aesthetics of cuteness, and how spectator is constructed . There is a newer section on the ‘femme fatale’ PPT1 It is a focused on how meaning is made, spectatorship and ideology and the context [67 slides0 PPT 2 is focused on the ideology of being cute and #toxicmasculinty PPT 3 looks at some of the failures in the film - it’s a discussion prompt with several examples including the look alike to Bridget Bardot homage PPT1 suggests viewing broken down to 3 sessions - and has short and long writing task and some discussion breaks. It also has a selection of film shots for students to explore as well in depth of how meaning is made through soundtrack, costume, context and milennial ideas of feminism - however teachers can adapt to how they teach film /length of lessons With 67 slides - there is enough for about 10-12 one hour lessons [It does not teach basics of film, because no one teaching this, is likely be using it as their first text and cinematography basics would have been taught already! ] PPT1 has some useful links - which at January 2024 are active - and a short teaching rationale for teachers Please note I always charge very little for resources which takes hours to put together and therefore, respectfully ask you do not put my work online as your product :)

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 New Orleans Bounce culture Relevance of Hurricane Katrina and the aftermath Connections to Slavery Awards The Superbowl release Oblique references to policing and #BLM Costume/Mise en scene/ framing 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

Knowledge Organiser [5] The Taming of the Shrew Shakespeare

(0)
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.

AQA Crime poems KS5 Wilde Crabbe Browning

(0)
The poems are for AQA Crime They are for teachers who know how to teach poetry at KS5 and they are sectioned to work through in an order building knowledge Browning then Wilde than Crabbe These PPTS do NOT focus on low level line by line analysis but link to higher order thought - deep links to the AO’s : if students do not write to the AOs they get lower marks. Teachers are advised to review these - this is not self paced work, not suitable to post as work from home - more suitable for students who want and work towards A* A B or a higher C

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

(0)
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

Blinded by the Light Chadra Film Study

(0)
FILM STUDY This is a set of 10 PPTS as the introduction from first to second viewing of the film. I have assumed that the teacher leading this knows how to teach film and has reviewed the film! The PPTS use stills, and questions to prompt students to securely locate the Britishness in this film using cinematic evidence It is not however, an introduction to cinematic terms so I have assumed basics have been taught eg lighting props costume It has only a few youtube links which are all working at the time of upload This does dig into the context of era so has some challenging ideas about the Thatcher era, racism and as such students should continue to be trigger warned - a heading from the Times used is genuine, sadly.

Do The Right Thing Spike Lee updated 2024

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 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!

It covers the broad range of ideas with the film: context, history, aesthetics, auteur, cinematography, male gaze, gender bender.

How to obtain a grade 4 GCSE English language pre exam push

(0)
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 for students to revise expectations for Component 1. It reviews the marks awarded, the timings and the gritty specifics to Comp 1. This resource is only suitable for use with teacher guidance and is only accurate to GCSE after the Summer GCSE 2018. It is quite prescriptive with timings, and working smart with the question marks and Section B. It is an A3 format. Hope it helps.
