A 6 - 8 week unit of work on Greta Gerwig’s 2019 film adaptation of Little Women. Introduces and analyses media techniques such as camera angles and mise-en-scene and also looks at characterisation, plot and theme. The unit focuses a lot on group discussion and the unit outcome can be a group presentation or a critical essay. (or both!)

Critical essay is based on a National 5 outcome and is very supported and scaffolded. I did this with two middle set S3 classes and the essays they produced were of a high standard.

Includes:

• Powerpoint Lesson Slides with 128 slides
• A complete workbook that supports the slides
• Scene Analysis worksheet
• Booklet designed to support the planning of a critical essay
• Critical essay sentence starters
