Education Resources for the Wild Things Documentary

  • Wild Things Education Resources

    This unit's lessons are based on the Wild Things documentary, which helps students explore significant events in the environmental movement's history in Australia. The unit aims to empower students to raise their voices for an environmental cause they are passionate about, inspiring others to adopt a different perspective and bring about real change in society.

Frontline activism to save the planet

Wild Things is a documentary that follows a group of new-generation activists as they tackle various environmental issues such as the deforestation of mature forests, the use of non-renewable energy sources and climate change.

In this unit, students will learn about the history of the environmental movement in Australia by watching the Wild Things documentary. The lessons will also encourage students to speak up about their own environmental concerns and inspire others to take action for positive societal change.
