What do teachers say about this resource? (7454)
Buy it! Really essential! I love this resource. It is excellent to develop the necessary skills to write essays. It covers all the essay titles and prepares really well for the exam.
Excellent. The short comedy play looks like fun! The practice questions will also be useful. It is broken down into before/during/after watching the film and gives plenty of cultural insight. I am lacking in the area of teaching films and it gives me a much better understanding to share with my students. If you are unsure about teaching the new specification and the idea of teaching film scares you, then buy this resource.
Very good. It is well organised and offers information as well as activities which are A Level style. Extremely good value, an invaluable resource, all at hand.
A thorough work [...] full of meaningful activities created with the aim of studying the film to ensure that students are well prepared for their AS and A Level examinations.
