A detailed plot revision with screenshot analysis.

Film study of the evolution of the superhero from Superman (1978) to the recent Black Panther film. I suggest you also use storyboards, articles and reviews to explore this and other superhero films.

This task gives the class a chance to use the concept of doing good as an organisation in their own town. You may need to edit it slightly to suit the needs of your context as it is designed to be used in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa.

Start with this Spark that I created to explore the novel: [https://spark.adobe.com/page/0WWBYLuathIX7/] Thereafter, use the PPT in presenter view so that you can discuss each shot with your students as my notes are available to the presenter there, but not to the students - they must make their own notes based on the discussion that arises from the slides. The shots cover the entire movie, so you can use this PPT to take shots and use them in tests. If you have any comments or insights I would love to hear them - thank you!

We read “The Last Runaway” by Tracey Chevalier with our Grade 11 class. It is a book that explores the experience of runaway slaves and the Quaker community in Ohio that was on the Underground Railroad route, and which the slaves would use to travel to freedom in Canada. Many people helped the slaves along the way, at great personal risk, and this books look at the tension between following one’s conscience, and following the law, as well as the tragic experience of slaves as they risked everything for freedom.

This resource aims to give the students an opportunity to consider success and complacency because the protagonist is very complacent and lacks ambition. It looks at death too, so if a student has suffered a loss, please be sensitive to how they might be feeling. I've also included a link to a TED video so where the author speaks about this personally.

A poem about compositions and exploring disparity. It includes irony and pun.
