I’ve decided to freshen things up and redesign my year 11 course. Looking at doing a unit on Netflix, and the pop cultural trend of adapting comics webtoons and manga into tv series. Planning on looking at American , Japanese and Korean adaptations, with the focus on Locke and key, sweet home, Alice in borderlands and edge of tomorrow.
Wondering if anyone has done any notes or resources on any of these, before I reinvent the wheel? I’ll throw my final products up on here for the community when the unit is done as a pay it forward!
Cheers

I am also doing Netflix - we looked stranger things (only the first 2 episodes as they are m and then they become ma) - I will have a look later at what I have done and will send through anything useful :)

I did a Karate Kid and Cobra Kai (eps 1 - 3) unit. Looking at social and production context etc.
Students LOVED it.
I can share if you’re interested 👍🏻

Howdy all -
I do Queer Eye for the Straight Guy - allows for
- investigation of NETFLIX and its impact
- comparison between original and remake
- the issue of ‘polarisation’ is the focus of he first episode and there is a heavy use of stereotypes (gay vs. rednecks) to explore naturalisation
- media trends in representation and genre (‘positive’ reality TV as a trend to combat widespread negativity in the post-Trump world (2018)
I have plenty of resources if anyone’s interested!

Hi Brad,
(and anyone else I can convert to the dark side too, lol)
I’ve got a revision ppt for my Year 11 Kdrama and the Hallyu Wave unit of work, which is a pretty good summary of everything I cover at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uYPxXk2zxrFN9UjosFK8QGLWYd4RGiFM/view?usp=sharing
If there is anything you’d like to know more about any of the topics covered there, just let me know 😊
Cheers,

Following the same Pop culture line of questioning; Anyone got some solid music videos suggestions for analysis?
Im thinking Close your Eyes by Run the jewels as a stimulus piece, 2015 so a bit of an oldie, but seems pretty topical in light of the BLM movement.
Childish Gambino ‘This Is America’ was a pretty strong music video I used with my 11’s last year!
