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!
