Teaching Film as Literature - ULTIMATE teacher guide
This booklet provides visuals and descriptions of multiple film techniques as well as an overview of your standard elements of literature to study a film in your English class.
It is intended as a teacher's KEY GUIDE to teaching film as literature, however many of the pages could be given to students for reference.
Note well: This resource is also available in our discounted bundle here!
This resource includes:
⭐ One 26-page, completely editable booklet (so tweak, add, use parts of it in your own resources to your heart's content).
You'll enjoy:
❤️ Having a key go-to for film studies!
❤️ Visuals that provide examples of film techniques - especially camera work and lighting/colour.
❤️ Short descriptions of techniques and their effects. I've kept it basic so you don't get bogged down. This is supposed to be a quick but comprehensive guide!
❤️ An overview of unit sequencing etc.
❤️ Confirmation that film IS a form of literature and that you know how to teach this already. The overview of the elements of literature and a few things to look out for helps!
❤️ A wee list of recommended films, but no means exhaustive and totally Sue's opinion.

Sharing/Copying this Resource
Feel free to purchase just one for your department - no need for a copy for each teacher. However:
- Please do NOT share with the school down the road.
- Please do NOT take it with you to a new school.
- Feel free to suggest the website to others - that'd be great!
That's pretty fair I think! Let's help each other out. :)
