Improving Writing Through Film And Talk
New resource for spring 2009!
Dramatic Media produces a range of resources that feature emotionally engaging, original film drama. We write and produce all of our films, which are based on social issues that are relevant to young people. The characters, events and issues raised in the films are the focus for curriculum-mapped activities. The subjects we cover are English, Media Studies and PSHE.
Dramatic Media's PSHE resources are also relevant to learners outside mainstream education (PRUs and special units) and as training tools for those agencies that work in areas of social care involving young people. Our aim is to promote a 'wider literacy' through the use of film drama.
What do we mean by a 'wider literacy'?
