DVD in German with English subtitles and in an English version.
A complete German lesson plan for Blaue Engel — ready to open and teach.
A respectable professor of German follows a cabaret singer into her world — and loses everything. Made in 1930 at the dawn of German sound cinema, Der Blaue Engel gave Marlene Dietrich to the world and gave German film one of its most devastating portraits of a man undone by obsession.
How This Plan Works
Good films have natural moments — a powerful scene, a cultural encounter, a shift in the story — where the language and meaning come together. This plan identifies those moments in Blaue Engel and builds a lesson around each one. For every scene, you get vocabulary and cultural notes, comprehension activities, and communicative tasks your students can work through in class or independently. A pre-film warm-up gets them ready before the first screening.
Everything is included: the teacher's guide, student worksheets in German, and an answer key.
