Using film
Do you use film in your literacy and other lessons? It sounds exciting but if like me you need to be brought up to speed quickly have a look at http://www.filmeducation.org/ hosted by the South East Grid for Learning (SEGfL). These pages have an extraordinary range of information, advice, resources and lessons for all sectors all based on film clips which can be shown full screen. It also represents a one stop shop for teachers who want to use film in their lessons.
I was going to say how much I liked http://www.filmeducation.nen.gov.uk/thefoxandthechild/ which was the first activity I looked at. Then I found http://www.filmeducation.org/legendoftheguardians/ which was the second. Then… Film Education's a great resource and it's as current as The King's Speech.
