Telling stories
This educational site for learners aged 12-16 features teaching materials exploring the film Tomorrow When The War Began. Designed for students of English, Media and PSHEE, this resource encourages young people to reflect personally and critically on the characters, relationships and ideas presented in the film. Activities are organised into subject areas using a range of the film's assets and some tasks are designed to be used in conjunction with Film Education's Tomorrow When The War Began study clips on DVD.
This resource places a strong focus on pupil-led discussion so the PSHEE activities are also suitable for English teachers aiming to promote speaking and listening opportunities. Downloadable pdfs accompany some activities providing support materials in an accessible, printable format.
