A New Hope Homework Task - Prepare

Last lesson - how much progress did you make?

30 min discussion applying the characteristics of blockbusters to Die Hard 5, & discussed context within audience expectations of blockbusters/passive audience & big dumb movies (social) spend big money guaranteed to make it back (economic), 3D and watching films online (technology) 

Result. Contributed to discussion and a page of Notes... 
if not = 0% progress

1hr 30 minutes(!!!) to make a film poster of a key blockbuster 1972 - 2012 with budget, box office stats

30 mins to analyse the context of 2012s contemporary blockbusters 

Result. Photos of these highlighted key points on your phones/devices on your blog

otherwise = 0% progress

15 mins to put together a Critical Review (Mark Kermode) applying the context you identified to an event movie of 2012

Result. A video of your group discussing your understanding of how your context has affected an event movie 2012... 
otherwise = 0% progress

Overall result = Some members of the class are not making suitable progress in how pace their learning to meet the expectations of A Level

To improve pace of learning/level of effort = preparation in class at home before lesson

Due to this lesson, homework will be used to ensure you are prepared for class by reading and knowing about information so we can use class time to apply and develop thinking skills and check your understanding.


Next week will be a higher and lower effort/motivation divided teaching set. 'Those Who Have Prepared' and 'Those Who Haven't Made The Effort'.

I will be working with 'Those Who Have Prepared' who will then be analysing a screening in the lesson.
