Smallville - Metamorphosis
I’ve just finished the hand out for the next episode of Smallville that I am doing with my advanced class. You can see the original on this entry. My students wanted to continue chronologically in the series so prepared episode two titled Metamorphosis. This time I’m not uploading my lesson plan but you should be able to plan any lesson well from this material. On page nine I’ve copied the text from SMALLVILLE: A TV Review. I’m going to have my students read that site before coming to class, but I copied it in case the site goes down in the future and then I’ll be able to distribute it as a handout. I’ve of course included the link on page nine so students can find it for themselves if they want.
Many of the screenshots I included in the script came from this site, which has over 200 screen caps per episode. Again, if you have MSpublisher and would like to modify the file let me know and I’ll send it to you by email. You can download my entire handout in pdf here: Smallville - Metamorphosis
