Blue - Connecting to the Ocean

Year 7 - 8EnglishLearning through filmEnvironmentalBiodiversityConservationOceansWater
Lesson Summary
This lesson incorporates clips from Blue The Film as learning inspiration. In this Tuning In lesson, students use a series of visible thinking routines to explore their connection to the ocean and the impact of plastic on ocean ecosystems. They will begin to learn about how images communicate meaning. Students will consider ways the ocean is changing as a result of human activities and critically reflect on their own responses to this information. Students will develop their linguistic and non-linguistic communication skills by representing the issue of ocean health in an abstract or creative way.
