'Billy Elliot' Film Review Analysis Online Student Project Template

'Billy Elliot' Film Review Analysis Online Student Project Template

(0)
This film review pack for Billy Elliot contains everything that students need to create a detailed and analytical film review presentation. Students can work through the slides independently or in groups, using the instructions and analysis prompts to guide them. These slides are ideal for online learning, or as homework. There is no need to print outs as everything can be done on student devices. Students can either submit the slides as a finished project, or use them to present to the whole class. 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. Reviews on your download are very much appreciated! NB the film is not included in the download. This is readily available for streaming online. The resources link to the 2000 film Billy Elliot, NOT the stage musical.
