This course is part of Teaching Literacy Through Film, a series of short learning experiences focusing on specific areas of literacy.

 

Inspire your pupils’ work on recounts and persuasion with Writing Non-Fiction Through Film.

 

Designed for primary school teachers and packed with activities you can try out straight away, this free, short course introduces strategies to immerse your pupils in their learning using fascinating archive films. You’ll cover how historical footage can bring the past to life to inspire descriptive recount writing and scaffold pupils’ thinking to build memorable persuasive arguments.

 

As you learn, you’ll be able to try the activities, share your work with fellow educators and have a go at our film tagline quiz. We’ll also give you access to complete lesson resources so you can make the most of your new skills and share the excitement of learning through film with your pupils.

 

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Recognise archive film as a versatile tool to motivate pupils’ learning
  • Inspire descriptive recount writing with historical footage
  • Use film taglines as a fun introduction to persuasive features
  • Develop high-quality persuasive writing with archive films.
