Overview

In this lesson, students will explore how choices in point of view and perspective impact upon a text. They will first examine a range of videos using changing points of view and identify the pros and cons of each approach. In watching these videos, students will also explore multimodal presentations of potential, imagined experiences in the year 2040. Using both the content and craft of these videos as inspiration, students will create narrative texts about their own 2040.

Learning Intentions

  • Students understand how using differing points of view affects the impact and content of texts
  • Students understand some of the existing solutions for climate change
