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. :)
Reviews
Some fantastically useful resources here, including a scene-by-scene breakdown with relevant stills, quotes, and discussion questions. I did have to do a fair bit of editing to correct spelling and apostrophes. (I also ended up editing a lot of the questions to make them more open-ended, but that was a stylistic choice.) I love that I COULD edit the files and make them my own -- my students don't all have devices so being able to adapt and print out particular pages to give them was great.
The film study of Uproar is a very well-developed resource which I used with my year 9 English class as an introduction to a text study of a film.
The activities are very accessible and present excellent teaching moments.
The resource is very comprehensive which meant I could choose to use some activities and leave others out.
