Teacher Guide Representation Lessons 1-5

For those of you who are new to Film Studies teaching, then this Teacher Guide - alongside the Lesson Resource Slides, and Student Workbook provide all that you need to get the job done. For those of you seeking fresh ideas or additional materials, then dip in and take what you need. For experienced staff who have been scouring the internet and posting on forums debating the new specifications - which to select and how to teach them - then this puts a range of material in one handy place and saves you time that is better spent discussing, feeding back on progress, and developing the learning contained in these units with your students.

Your Edusites subscription gives access to all of these units, and students may be referred to these as review/revision of prior skills already covered or you may decide to lift whole lessons from the GCSE packs and use these to cover any perceived gaps in skills or understanding, or to review ideas. In some A Level lessons, reference will be made directly to these units or some of those units slide resources will be slotted in where these are felt to better illustrate points or ideas.

All of the framework concepts in Film Studies – Language+, Genre+, Representation+, Audience+ and Institutions+ – are linked and interact with each other to produce meaning. Whilst this unit has a focus on Film Representation+ it will touch into these other areas and will be revisited in their work in the other units. Emphasise this to them. We are eating the elephant and we need to do so one bite at a time, wherever we start from.

The OCR Specifications assume no prior knowledge of Film Studies.

All work refers to the Edusites Lesson Resource Slides.

This is a sample of 5 lessons taken from a library of over 150 individual fully resourced lessons.
