Hi Tim, that already helped a lot. However, I do have one further question. You mentioned that the students transcribe the dialogue/subtitles. Are they allowed to do that themselves, if they are official subtitles in the movie? I always...
ResourcesHi Ella, For films or full-length documentaries, they stand alone as a non-literary body of work. There's no need to teach another film by the same director. For music videos, it's my understanding that you have two choices here...
ResourcesHi Nicole, Thanks for the specific examples! And I can see why you are a bit hesitant. You don't want students to write paragraph after paragraph explaining what exactly Ecocriticism is to the reader. With that said, I think...
TipsHi, I would like to teach the documentary film 'Samsara' by Roy Fricke as an option for my students to use for their non-literary extract in the oral. How many other films by Fricke do I have to teach in order for it to count as a BOW? Similarly,...

IO sample workHello, I appreciate this space and your insights! I'm curious about your thoughts on students using multimedia advertisements and video parodies (Saturday Night Live or similar) for the IO. How many would constitute a BOW, and should students pull...
IO sample workHi Silke, I'm going to take your 2nd question first. We often advise no more than one page. Occasionally, a two page spread is needed. However, 1 page often suffices. Why? Two pages can sometimes just be too much...
ResourcesHi Nicole, You obviously don't want more plot summary. That's never a good thing and something you are clearly trying to steer them away from. But I need a bit more information to more fully help here. I'm thinking, for example,...
