    I have developed an 8-week curriculum for "The French New Wave (1958–1968)" tailored for 2nd-year undergraduates. This plan includes 8 modules, specialized viewing paths, and a complete assessment strategy.

    Module 2 Detail: Breaking the Continuity

    • Objectives: Define the formal innovations of Jean-Luc Godard; analyze the psychological impact of the jump cut.
    • Viewing Path: Primary: Breathless (1960). Alternative: Le Petit Soldat (1963).

    Historical Claim: Godard famously cut Breathless to length by removing segments within shots. Verified (Source: Neupert, "A History of the French New Wave").

    • Rights Note: Gaumont holds theatrical rights. Check institutional Kanopy/Swank access for educational streaming.

    Final Project: The Annotated Sequence

    Students will select a 3-minute sequence from a Left Bank or Cahiers film and provide a frame-by-frame formal analysis demonstrating how it broke with the "Tradition of Quality."

    Next steps

    1. Review the specific Pathé/Gaumont titles available in your library to finalize the Week 4 selection.
    2. Distribute the "Media Rights Caution List" to your department's IT head for streaming setup.
    3. Import the provided Quiz Bank into your LMS (Canvas/Blackboard).

    About this skill

    The problem

    Designing a film history course requires balancing cinematic canon, historical context, and pedagogical alignment. Instructors often struggle to bridge the gap between screening lists and rigorous assessment while verifying historical claims and navigating complex media licensing.

    What it does

    • Generates a complete 6 to 10 module curriculum based on a specific era, movement, or national cinema.
    • Constructs aligned learning objectives, lesson plans, and viewing paths for primary and alternative instruction.
    • Produces formative and summative assessments, including quizzes, essay prompts, and comprehensive project rubrics.
    • Performs a quality loop to verify historical facts, accessibility requirements, and media-rights status for every film cited.

    Why this beats prompting it yourself

    General prompts often produce generic lists of famous movies without educational structure. This skill enforces a professional pedagogical framework, ensuring that every module includes specific lesson blocks, historical verification, and tiered rubrics that meet academic standards.

    Use cases

    • Create a semester-long undergraduate syllabus for specialized topics like Italian Neorealism.
    • Develop a scaffolded self-study guide for independent learners or cinema clubs.
    • Generate structured lesson plans and discussion prompts for hybrid or online film programs.
    • Audit existing course outlines for historical accuracy and media licensing compliance.

    Known limitations

    Requires the user to specify learner levels and available resources to avoid generic defaults. Users must manually verify local geographical streaming restrictions.

    Requires user-defined learner profiles for best results. Geographic streaming availability for specific films must be manually confirmed by the instructor.
