Building strong readers and writers can be so difficult in the secondary setting. I've used all of these products to grow my secondary English students in literary analysis. By reinforcing the "building blocks" of ELA, I can help them deepen their understanding and grow their analytical skills. ThesPrice $31.00Original Price $36.24Save $5.24

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”.
