Film Study - Next Goal Wins directed by Taika Waititi
Enjoy a laugh and soak up some wise messages with Taika Waititi's film, Next Goal Wins - all made easier to study with our editable teaching resource. It covers the context (this is a real-life story), a chronological record of the team's development, character studies, setting, structure, symbolism and theme. There's a lot here so you might need to pick and choose what you use, but at least everything's there if you need it (we hope)! Print or share digitally.
This resource includes:
⭐ A student booklet with notes and activities.
⭐ A teacher booklet - ie: the student booklet with all the answers filled in and a few notes to you along the way.
You and your students will enjoy:
❤️ Timestamps throughout so you can find the scene you need. (Note: our timestamps relate to the version we purchased from YouTube.)
❤️ Easy, clickable navigation through the table of contents and homepage buttons on every page.
❤️ Key quotations in a bold rust colour to help them stand out.
❤️ Plenty of screenshots to aid discussion and the completion of activities.
❤️ A sound collection of notes with content reinforced by short activities along the way.
❤️ A focus on film techniques used in key scenes/shots.
❤️ Links to external sources to study context and for added interest.
❤️ Rewriting themes as ideas using 'that' statements for better essay writing.
Formats:
🖥️ Microsoft PowerPoint, resized to an A4 page. This means your resource:
- Is completely editable.
- Will easily upload to your Google Drive if you prefer the Googley suite.
- Is printable 📃
🖥️ A FLAT-PACKED version of the STUDENT booklet - often better to share with your students than the completely editable version because they can edit only the parts they SHOULD be mucking around with.
🖥️ A PDF version of each document.

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. :)
