For many of us, listening is one of the key ways that we connect with the world. By learning to pay closer attention to the sounds around us, we can strengthen this connection and develop many vital life skills that come along with it. In this lesson, learners will act out scenarios to differentiate between active and passive listening. They will practise listening closely to the sounds around them while also learning to deal with internal and external interruptions and regain their focus. This resource has been designed for learners aged 11-16. It can be used as a standalone lesson for short PSHE education and form/pastoral sessions, or cherry-picked to incorporate into longer lessons. The full resource and many more are available for free to UK-based teachers who enrol on Into Film’s Mindfulness Through Film course.

It takes an enormous amount of skill and hard work to make a film, and we believe that this creative process should be understood, valued and respected. We want to ensure that young people understand the connection between a finished film and the creators’ intellectual property, as well as be aware of the consequences of illegal downloading and video piracy. Watch the film See What You Did with your students before completing the activity sheet. What is intellectual property? Copyright and intellectual property (IP) sits at the foundation of all film production. It gives creators confidence that they own their work, and that they will be entitled to manage the distribution of the finished product. By striking a balance between the interests of creatives and the wider public, the IP system aims to foster an environment in which creativity and innovation can flourish. Here at Into Film, we support the collective efforts of the film industry and UK government to raise awareness of issues relating to copyright infringement. To achieve this, we are proud to be partnering with Cinema First, the Industry Trust for Intellectual Property (IP) Awareness, Intellectual Property Office and other cross-industry partners. We want to open up the world of film production to young people and give them opportunities to make their own films, whilst empowering them to make positive choices when accessing films online. Our suite of resources aim to educate young people to respect intellectual property in three ways: By encouraging them to become creators themselves, thereby understanding the inherent principles of copyright and the value of work Demonstrating our belief that the emotional impact and enjoyment derived from watching a film is a tangible reason to pay to see it legally Teaching them about the multifaceted nature of the filmmaking process, through projects such as Creating Movie Magic and Green Light to Opening Night For information on legally accessing films both at home and in the cinema, visit www.findanyfilm.com. For information on copyright and schools visit www.copyrightandschools.org. For more resources around respect for intellectual property visit www.crackingideas.com.
