Movies + TV Highlights

September’s film and documentary additions have been curated to spark meaningful discussion in the classroom.

Ocean advocate Kal Glanznig travels around Australia lifting the veil on plastic waste in The Plastic Country (Australia)(New Zealand). On a mission to understand the impact of plastic pollution on waterways and oceans, Kal meets with experts who explain how plastic infiltrates not only fragile ecosystems, but our bodies and health.

Tradition and gender roles are challenged in the fearless documentary Cutting Through Rocks (Australia)(New Zealand). Following trailblazer and councilwoman Sara Shahverdi, the film documents her fight to empower young girls and end child marriage in an Iranian village.

Analyse themes of grief, love, and identity in the deeply moving film Hamnet (Australia only). A cinematic experience portraying the inspiration behind Shakespeare’s Hamlet, the film offers a unique text comparison to its original source material, weaving together a story of love and loss.

For New Zealand learners, follow a new generation of Māori peoples integrating traditional culture in Australian society in M.I.A: Māori in Australia. Each episode explores a unique personal journey, as those navigating careers and life in Australia explore ways to honour their Māori identity outside New Zealand.

Featured Resource: Vocabulary Practice

Move vocabulary from passive recognition to active use with this one-page resource. It nudges vocabulary understanding up a level by asking students to define terms in their own words and use them in context.

Supports skills in:

• Subject-specific vocabulary building
• Defining and explaining key terms in own words
• Applying vocabulary 

Why use it?

• Deepens subject-specific vocabulary understanding 
• Encourages students to demonstrate understanding, not just memorise definitions
• Creates a handy reference students can return to for revision and related tasks
• Best used after the video to consolidate the key terms introduced

Try it with the video Four Spheres: Part 2 (Hydrosphere and Atmosphere)(Australia)(New Zealand) from the series Crash Course Kids: Earth’s Spheres and Natural Resources (Australia)(New Zealand).
