BFI Screenonline: Education

MAIN FEATURE

This month the Education Zone offers a new Show and Tell, exploring how the powerfully unsettling A Short Vision (1956) can be used in different classroom settings. This short animation captures the mood of nuclear paranoia in the late 1950s.

If you're an English or Drama specialist, you might enjoy a series of lessons focused around the enormously popular Educating Rita (1983), which compare and contrast the film with Willy Russell's play - a GCSE set-text.

And why not browse through our growing collection of starter and plenary ideas (Tops and Tails) as well as other lesson suggestions (Lesson Bank) by following the links below?
