In his Appendix to Directing the Documentary, Michael Rabiger has more than 20 pages of exercises designed to help students find the focus, conflict and characterization of their documentaries. He also includes self-evaluation tools, authorship hypotheses worksheets and film analysis guidelines. I've used several of these in my Doc Workshop course and the students have had very positive feedback.
Rabiger also wrote a book on directing narrative films and I think we should get it and examine the exercises he's placed in that book. Both books have brand new editions with inaugrual companion web sites.
