It matches the specification well with the themes and background of the film.
This resource is of excellent quality and teachers who have never taught La Haine before should feel confident that this will be the only resource that they need to purchase. It is very complete and detailed and provides robust preparation for students taking their AS or A Level.
An excellent resource, with very useful and carefully considered extras. Extremely comprehensive, it covers everything the student needs, from an overview and background pre-viewing material, to tasks and key info to be used during the film (especially handy for setting homework which can be tricky when showing the film to students), to post-viewing exercises and exam techniques. It really is the only resource you need.
I thought it was an excellent resource. It is extremely comprehensive. It gave us an in-depth understanding of the themes and cinematographic techniques used in the film.
A great support to pupils and staff! Very clearly organised with good level of detail covered. It is attractive and therefore helps students to engage with it. I am a new teacher of La Haine and it gave me confidence, as I followed the resource content. A great support to pupils and staff!
