I am in love with this resource and I can’t wait to use it with my students!

Written specifically for the 2016 specifications, the logical structure offers the ideal balance between guided classwork and independent research:
- Before: Introductory tasks enable students to study the film’s contextual background, including the region of Aragon, the war and post-war period, the film and its director.
- During: A comprehensive work-through of the film. Students will gain a deeper understanding of the film through comprehension questions, translations, and grammar and language activities.
- After: Sections include key themes, characters, film criticism, the success of the film and more. Exam-style practice questions, model essays and indicative content help students to apply what they have learnt – and refine exam technique!

I am in love with this resource and I can’t wait to use it with my students! I only wish I’d had this when I started teaching El laberinto del fauno seven years ago!
I wish this had been out a few years ago when I first started teaching this film!
Me ha gustado mucho esta unidad didactica. Por un lado la elección de la película es muy interesante porque auna la fantasia y la historia de España. Además los ejercicios que lo acompañan son muy adecuados y motivantes.
Very useful resource for the teaching of El Laberinto del Fauno. It includes a very evenly distributed variety of activities in relation to the historical context of the film as well as the covered themes, but also makes very good links with grammar points.
After asking for students' feedback, they have acknowledged that the activities related to every scene have helped them analyse them more in depth and to pay attention to details that they wouldn't have noted before.
This resource is very focused on the teaching of the film with the purpose of students being able to critically analyse the essay for their A-Level exam.
