What others say

"I used this as a literary analysis review for students before our semester exams. It took 2 class periods to get through it all, and the students really enjoyed it. In the future I would use it as an introduction to literary analysis, but I'm very happy I found this resource!"

"Absolutely perfect for my classroom. Loved using this as add-in before a holiday break. The questions were rigorous and engaging for being a short film."

Description

I love to use these short films as a way to review literary elements with my students OR a way to introduce the concept of analysis. Sometimes, my students find it easier and less “scary” to analyze a film rather than a piece of literature.

Each short film comes with a sheet of questions for students to review topics such as:

• Symbolism

• Theme

• Mood

• Characterization

• Imagery

• And so much more!

These questions will push students to think outside of the box and actually analyze/apply what they’ve learned!

I’ve included an answer key, but please know that these assignments are analysis-based. Therefore, answers will always vary. Subjective responses are a part of the beauty of an analysis.

You’ll need access to the following films. I’ve included multiple links to each short film just in case a link becomes “broken”.

My students love watching a clip and trying to figure out literary devices, just some of these clips were hard for my age level to figure out.
