Teaching tips & learning objectives

Teaching tips

The guide is reached through the access link on the third page, so open it and take your own copy before the lesson rather than during it
Both routes are supported from the same source — assign it in Google Classroom for devices, or download and print it as worksheets — so the decision can be made per class rather than per purchase
The questions are set out as time-stamped and in the order of the episode, which means a class that starts the film late can be pointed to a question number rather than rewinding
A bundle covering all twelve episodes is offered on the closing page, worth checking before buying single episodes if the series will be shown in full
