The Piano (Aidan Gibbons)- Film Narrative
The Piano is suggested by the National Literacy Strategy as a unit on film narrative in Year 5. Studying the film and the themes that run through the short clip generates some fantastic speaking and listening opportunities as well as some amazing writing. Personally, it is my favourite unit of study that I have worked on with any of my classes. The film below comes directly from the National Framework website, so beware alternatives on other sites where different music has been used. Scroll down for further resources/ideas.
