Film analysis, Film Studies, The Dark Knight, Dystopian Films, movie guide

THE DARK KNIGHT is an excellent film to use when studying philosophical concepts including, but not limited to, the following: morality, ethics, sacrifice, duty, freedom, and fairness.

THIS IS PART OF A BUNDLE: DYSTOPIAN FILMS

THIS FILM IS ABOUT TERRORISM, DUTY, AND BEING A HERO.

Even if you don’t know the film, chances are your students do. It is surprisingly sophisticated, and the dialogue is interesting and provocative. The film helps students understand terrorism and sacrifice. It is a great film for teaching film analysis.

Most students enjoy talking about films, so this is a great way to raise difficult philosophical issues. The included questions tackle topics related to heroism, terrorism, morality, and fairness (just to name a few).

Some of the questions use quotations from the film.

Included in this product are the following:

♞ SEVEN STUDENT QUESTIONS with 13 sub-questions (There are three short scenes from the film – each quotation is followed by three questions – and there are four additional questions.) THESE QUESTIONS ARE ALSO IN GOOGLE SLIDES!

♞ Critical Lens Quotation Practice using a quotation from the film (includes an excerpt from the screenplay.) 

♞ Two more excerpts from the screenplay along with five questions that refer back to the excerpts. THESE QUESTIONS ARE ALSO IN GOOGLE SLIDES!

♞ 14 generic templates for the film. PRINT ONLY.

♞ This product allows for differentiated learning; some students may be more comfortable with the questions that focus on the lower levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy (remembering/comprehension and simple applications/understanding), whereas other questions provide students the opportunity to focus on higher levels (analysis and evaluation).

♞ There is a link that you share with your students to use interactively through Classroom™ or other online programs.  

♞ Editable instructions for students when using the interactive version.

♞ Information on Google Slides™ for teachers and students.
