Martin Luther King Day
18 January

Civil rights has been - and remains - a hugely significant and important issue, particularly in the United States. Selma marks, surprisingly, the first film ever made about Martin Luther King, Jr. and with its release comes an excellent opportunity to discuss this important figure and the freedoms he fought for.

This assembly resource will help raise awareness of, and stimulate discussion around, the issues surrounding civil rights, which remain hugely relevant to the world we live in today. Consisting of an assembly PowerPoint presentation and a set of accompanying teacher's assembly notes, this resource will help to improve young people's social and cultural awareness.

Updating our resources

We have developed a large catalogue of educational resources since launching in 2013, and some references and terminology will inevitably have dated as society and language evolves. We are aware of this and will be updating resources when our production schedule allows.

"The Filmmaking Guides have been invaluable in helping novice filmmakers, from ensuring their story is well told, to thinking about light, camera angles and editing."
