What do teachers say about this resource? (9376)

Very impressive in terms of level and detail of analysis... The core study areas are understood and covered comprehensively... The material on the resurrection theme is excellent, as is the linked article by Linda Wight, because it tackles a theme that allows for a perceptive and pertinent exploration of cultural context.

S Page, Teacher & Peer Reviewer

A very well presented resource for the teacher. It covers a variety of topics with some good explanations. It includes useful links with YouTube videos and also useful questions with answers at the back to support the teacher.

What do teachers say about this resource? (9853)

This is a fairly comprehensive resource which looks at all relevant requirements from the specification. I like the fact that the resource is written in such a manner that its language is accessible to a diverse range of students. This resource allows for a quick reference to key study topics, therefore its value is as a starting point when introducing key aspects of the film. It could also act as a retrieval tool for revision. The resource is presented well, with some good visual stimulus to the film subject. There is a good use of pop up boxes for extra information.
