National Schools Partnership and Into Film with Pathé launch A United Kingdom: The Power of Unity. This inspirational, free educational resource uses the brand new film A United Kingdom, released in cinemas on 25th November, to help young people, aged 11-18, discover the power that unity has to transform societies and shape British values. The film tells the remarkable true story of Seretse Khama, the King of Beuchuanaland (modern Botswana) and Ruth Williams, a London office worker, whose love triumphed over oppression and intolerance to lay the foundations for one of Africa’s most peaceful and prosperous countries. This flexible resource, which supports the PSHE/LLW/PSE/Health & Wellbeing and History curricula, as well as SMSC education, will immerse students in the post-war period of the British Empire in Africa, while bringing into focus the contemporary relevance of the story. They will build empathy with the film’s key characters, discover what shaped their views and actions, and reflect on how British values have developed to include tolerance and respect for cultural diversity and interracial relationships. The programme will empower students to become unity ambassadors, promoting tolerance and respect for others in their own schools and communities. They will be encouraged to create and share a statement about why they think unity is powerful or examples of when they’ve seen unity conquer difference on a unity message board in school and via social media for the chance to win great prizes.

This learning sequence will immerse the class in the Marvels Cinematic Universe and encourage learners to become their own hero – reflecting on how they see themselves and building their self-esteem and confidence. With links to the PSHE, RSE and English/literacy curriculums, a film clip will first be used as a stimulus for students to discuss the character of Kamala Khan via a ‘Role on the Wall’ activity. Here they will explore Kamala’s newfound powers and how she feels about harnessing them versus how she appears to those around her and how the perception of those in her team can lead to her empowerment. Inspired by the heroes in the film, learners will explore the skills they can offer to the world and the importance of team effort using the Becoming Your Own Hero activity sheet. There will be a focus on a supportive and empowering learning environment as students will feed into each other’s self-reflection to build confidence and contribute to one another’s’ positive self-image. There is an added opportunity for learners to think about one of their own goals and how they would achieve them by following in the footsteps of the Marvels using a framework based on the concept of ‘Higher. Further. Faster. Together’. As an extension, students can explore how the skills they exemplify can be transferrable across a range of exciting careers using information on the Youth Employment UK website. A competition to drive further engagement will ask students to imagine themselves as a hero on someone else’s wall. Using Art and Design skills, students will use the Future Hero competition sheet to create a poster depicting themselves as someone others look up to. This depiction can be inspired by a career, challenge or goal that they wish to pursue in the future.

Diversity on film is a key topic in the film industry and this assembly is aimed at helping young people to discuss the representation of female characters on film using the Bechdel Test and the F-Rating as a framework. The Bechdel Test is used in this assembly as a fun way of analysing how women are represented on film, and starting a conversation about whether this is fair. The F-Rating is included to stimulate debate about equal representation behind the scenes within the industry, and how this affects the films that are made. Young people will apply the Bechdel Test and the F-Rating to clips from popular films before discussing the effect of these campaigns to instigate change within the industry. The extension activities will allow students to explore the issues presented in the assembly in a creative and analytical manner. The resource is suitable to be used in an assembly format, in a film club setting or for use in the classroom (guidance is given below).

Andrew Onwubolu MBE has developed his craft of filmmaking throughout his career from a self-taught filmmaker uploading music videos and short films to YouTube to being awarded an MBE for services to Drama and Music. This resource comprises three lessons which introduce learners to Andrew Onwubolu, his filmmaking style and debate the role of an auteur in a film production. Download the full resource from the Into Film website. Lesson 1 - Guerilla Filmmaking and Autuer Theory The first lesson in this resource introduces or reacquaints young people studying GCSE or A level Film Studies with the concept of an auteur by analysing the filmmaking style and directorial motifs in Andrew Onwubolu’s film Blue Story and his earlier work Shiro’s Story. This will lead on to analysing the theory and features of auteurism in the films of Spike Lee, John Singleton and Alfred Hitchcock. Learners are then tasked with planning a crowdfunding campaign for a film production before planning and filming a revision film on the topic of auteurism in the style of one of the filmmakers discussed in this lesson. Lesson 2 - Discovering the Auteur This second lesson continues to develop learners’ understanding of auteurism by debating who has the most creative control on a film production before planning a presentation. The project for this lesson is to produce a film in the style of one of the auteurs studied in this lesson sequence, summarising what learners know about auteur theory to be used as a revision aid. Lesson 3 - Debating the Auteur The final lesson in this sequence is an opportunity for learners to practise writing an answer to an examination-style question which is scaffolded with opportunities for peer and class feedback before individuals produce their own essay.
