How to use these lesson resources
The programme is aimed at students in key stages 3 - 5 in England, Wales, Northern Ireland or in S1 - S4 in Scotland, with a flexible suite of resources and content, all adaptable to deliver according to age group and to work with existing timetables. You can simply show a ten-minute video at the start of a curriculum lesson, relating a job to the subject – or you can set aside a whole morning or afternoon and do an in-depth activity based on a workplace tour. And, of course, you can do anything in-between.
Lesson resources for screen
- Welcome by Mim Shaikh (five minutes) - use this video with broadcaster and TV actor to inspire your students with his story of his work in screen
- Sector overview (three minutes) – celebrate the film and TV industries with this overview of the sub-sector
- Where I work (approximately ten minutes each) – four screen professionals, ranging from a systems support assistant to the executive producer of Emmerdale, talk about their roles. You can use these at the start of a curriculum lesson. On each Where I work page, we show which subjects are referred to in the film and we suggest three or four ice-breaker questions to get the students thinking about careers.
