This section is designed for teachers of Key Stage 3 English, and provides a series of lessons that you can follow in the classroom to introduce students to the short film genre, develop the language of film, examine how texts can be adapted for screen, and engage in creative activities that show an understanding of both literary and filmmaking ideas and techniques.
You are invited to work on creative responses to the film with your students and to send their work to be published online as part of this resource. We aim to provide a constantly growing and developing resource to help inspire and encourage others.
To see other students’ poems and visual art, and for details of how your school can participate, go to the Over to you! section.
