2040 - Tuning In to the Documentary (Secondary)

In this lesson, students will be immersed in and connect with the documentary film 2040 – it is a great lesson to conduct before watching the documentary in full. Students begin by working in groups to imagine what the world might look like in 2040 based on a range of categories, such as diet, fashion, buildings, transport, and technology. They are then introduced to the 2040 documentary by watching and responding to a short clip that establishes the key messages of the film. Students are then guided to prepare an information collection sheet, helping them respond to the film and conduct research around key messages of the film (optional).
