The materials provide one way to approach conceptual programming to develop student understanding of the ways in which a written text can be brought to life on the stage.
Students develop an understanding of the ways viewers of film are emotionally positioned to respond. They expand their understanding of what it means to examine a visual text through a critical lens. Students will consider the ways that film can be used as a medium to share cultural expression and tell different stories. They will demonstrate this understanding through creative, informative and analytical spoken and written responses.
The program and associated resources are not intended to be taught exactly as presented in their current format but should be adapted to suit students’ needs. The resource should be used with timeframes that are created by the teacher to meet the overall assessment schedules.
