Students practice making meaning by reading or viewing "Examination Day". Afterwards, they create meaning by writing answers to the comprehension questions and writing a new ending to the story.
The Show Me Shorts in Schools kit has been developed by practising New Zealand teachers, in line with the New Zealand Curriculum. It includes nine short films plus a series of teaching exercises related to each film.
The lessons in the kit integrate themes, character, narrative, literacy, thinking skills and key competencies – reflecting the goals of the New Zealand Curriculum. For each film, there are four lessons which should each take 30–45 minutes to lead children through. We recommend that you choose one short film to focus on each week, and do one lesson each day. Throughout the week the students will view the film several times, using a different focus each lesson to help them to understand different aspects of the short film.
