Mildred Pierce Film Viewing Guide
Mildred Pierce (1945) is an excellent crime drama in the style of Film Noir. It covers themes of family dynamics and betrayal that will instantly engage students. I show this in my film studies class as an example of Film Noir and my students often express that this is their favorite film of the year. This viewing guide provides 70 questions to keep students focused on the plot and important details. There are also 4 discussion questions to make connections to the Film Noir style. Answer Key

Teaching style
Whether in my English Language Arts or Drama lessons I strive to foster creativity, critical thinking, and independence in my students. Through cooperative learning and applying the Gradual Release of Responsibility, students are able to explore the subjects of Literature and Theatre independently, with the security of a safety net in the support found in my lessons.
