This is a multi-disciplinary curriculum that uses the documentary "A Fire Inside" as a case study to explore the themes of resilience, hope, rebuilding, and community in the context of bushfires in Australia. The lessons cover English, geography, science, health, and physical education, and involve media integration, visual analysis, case studies, and discussions to deepen students' understanding of bushfires, their impacts on communities and the environment, and the strategies for responding to them.
