A whole set of lessons and activities on animation - both in terms of understanding the genre, and in terms of wider storytelling through visual media. Excellent first unit in media/film studies for secondary school students. Contains activities and worksheets on 3 different individual animations then a differentiated end of unit task where students choose which animation out of 5 new choices they’d like to analyse. Tiered prompts and activities from YELLOW (easy, accessible to all) through TURQUOISE (more challenging) to PINK (demanding - in this case, a full 7 paragraph analytical essay on the chosen animation). Links to the studied animations included.
