AN education resource designed for use in schools is now available free online to assist with home learning during the coronavirus outbreak.
Education charity Into Film has a pack of useful teaching tools to help children of all ages with literacy, creative writing, critical thinking, film making and other skills to continue to learn while the schools are closed.
Into Film aims to put film at the heart of young people's education, helping to support their academic, cultural, and social development.
Activities include writing reviews, exploring genres, curating cinema programmes and making your own movie.
Into Film's review writing guides can help young people apply their film knowledge, critical thinking and literacy skills to any film, providing a valuable and entertaining means of honing their English and writing skills.
They can also submit their review to the Into Film website for entry in the Review of the Week competition, with prizes to be won including family cinema vouchers to help support cinemas when they reopen.
"This will be a difficult time for families, and we want to make our resources and support freely available to everyone," said Sean Kelly of Into Film
"These activities will provide help for teachers and parents by providing simple, easy and useful tasks that young people can complete unaided. Among other things, our activities will give young people the ability to turn any film or television viewing into an educational experience."
