The Breadwinner – Raise Your Words A FILM BY NORA TWOMEY IN CINEMAS MAY 25 RAISE YOUR WORDS EDUCATION RESOURCE © 2018 Into Film. All rights reserved. RAISE YOUR IN CINEMAS MAY 25 WORDS ABOUT THIS RESOURCE The Breadwinner: Raise Your Words celebrates the power of storytelling that rests at the heart of this life-affirming tale and coincides with the UK release of The Breadwinner in UK cinemas (May 25). Activities support and encourage students to develop an understanding of their place in the world and gives them the opportunity to develop their descriptive writing skills. This resource is suitable for students aged 11–14. It has been created in partnership with STUDIOCANAL and links to the English, Citizenship and PSHE curriculum in the UK. ABOUT THE BREADWINNER 2017 | 94 MINS | BBFC CERTIFICATE 12A From Director Nora Twomey and Irish animation studio Cartoon Saloon (creators of Song of the Sea and The Secret of Kells). The Breadwinner tells the story of Parvana, an 11-year-old girl growing up under the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2001. When her father is wrongfully arrested, Parvana disguises herself as a boy in order to support her family. With dauntless perseverance, Parvana draws strength from the stories her father told her, and ultimately risks her life to discover if he is still alive. Equal parts thrilling and spellbinding, The Breadwinner is a timely and inspiring tale about the transcendent power of stories, and their potential to unite and heal us all. © 2018 StudioCanal All rights reserved. 2 © 2018 Into Film.

RAISE YOUR IN CINEMAS MAY 25 WORDS HOW TO USE THIS RESOURCE Lesson one: From responsibilities to rhyme – Parvana’s place in the world Through considering Parvana’s environment and the roles she adopts, students are able to gain a fuller sense of their own place in the world. Work on The Breadwinner trailer and analysis of still images from the film will help students achieve this and will build a basis for descriptive writing. A proverb from the Persian poet Rumi is also introduced in The Breadwinner: Raise Your Words PowerPoint presentation as a homework activity. Curriculum areas: English, Citizenship and PSHE. Lesson two: Parvana’s perspective – Raise your words In lesson two students engage in a descriptive writing activity. Their poetic proverbs can be used either as a title for this writing or as a focus for the mood and atmosphere of their work. Following this activity, students peer-assess each other’s work and share their best sentences with the class. There is also an optional filmmaking activity, where students are encouraged to film an adaptation of their poetic proverbs. Curriculum areas: English, Citizenship and PSHE.

RAISE YOUR IN CINEMAS MAY 25 WORDS ACTIVITY OUTLINES Lesson one: From responsibilities to rhyme – Parvana’s place in the world EQUIPMENT NEEDED • The Breadwinner: Raise Your Words PowerPoint presentation slides 1–14 • Printed copies of the Detail and description activity sheet (page 9) • Printed copies of Poetic proverbs homework activity sheet (page 10) • Pens and pencils LEARNING OBJECTIVES • I will consider the identity, roles and responsibilities that different people around the world adopt (PSHE). • By thinking about Parvana’s life, I will consider my own place in the world (Citizenship). • I will develop my ability to plan and note-take for descriptive writing (English). © 2018 StudioCanal All rights reserved. 5 © 2018 Into Film. All rights reserved. RAISE YOUR IN CINEMAS MAY 25 WORDS 1. Slide 1 is the title slide. Display and discuss the two key questions on slide 2. This will be a good way to assess your students’ understanding of the term ‘breadwinner’ and to advise them. The second question might draw-out any stereotypes i.e. that breadwinners are always male. 2. Ask your students to make predictions about the film and to consider how the term ‘breadwinner’ might be relevant using the image on slide 3 to support this discussion. 3. Introduce the key questions to your students that are on slide 4 before playing the trailer for The Breadwinner on slide 5. The questioning focusses on story-telling, but will help students to consider Parvana’s Afghanistan and how her life differs from their own. In the notes below slide 5 there are suggested answers to these questions. 4. Slide 6 asks students to consider the roles Parvana adopts, and steers students towards understanding the restrictions that were on women in Afghanistan in 2001. To support understanding of this context in the slide notes, there is a link to an online article on girls raised as boys in Afghanistan. At this point in the lesson you can also share the following information with students: The Breadwinner has a female director (Nora Twomey), has a female executive producer (Angelina Jolie), and is based on the book by a female writer (Deborah Ellis) which was endorsed by Malala Yousafzai. You may wish to question if students know who Malala Yousafzai is, and watch and discuss the Into Film interview of Malala Yousafzai by Emma Watson. The link and supporting questions are detailed in the slide notes at the bottom of slide 6. 5. The information on slide 7 supports the predictive and descriptive work on slides 8, 9 & 10; where students are asked to make predictions from two stills from the film. 6. These two stills then form the focus of a film analysis task, outlined on slide 11. Students make notes in response to their chosen image in relation to colour, character, camera, story, setting and sound. Free Into Film resources such as the 3Cs and 3Ss literacy tool are available on the Into Film website, detailed in the slide notes. A model for this analysis task is offered on slide 12. 7. Lastly, in lesson one students are introduced to a proverb from the Persian poet, Rumi. This proverb features in the film and forms a focus to the homework activity. Distribute the Poetic proverbs homework activity sheet and discuss with students the activity: to create their own Rumi-style proverbs. This task is detailed on slide 13 and slide 14. © 2018 StudioCanal All rights reserved. 6 © 2018 Into Film. All rights reserved. RAISE YOUR IN CINEMAS MAY 25 WORDS ACTIVITY OUTLINES Lesson two: Parvana’s perspective – Raise your words EQUIPMENT NEEDED • The Breadwinner: Raise Your Words PowerPoint presentation slides 15–20 LEARNING OBJECTIVES • I will develop my descriptive writing skills (English). • Through my creative writing, I will gain a stronger sense of life in Afghanistan in 2001 (PSHE, Citizenship). © 2018 StudioCanal All rights reserved. 7 © 2018 Into Film. All rights reserved. RAISE YOUR IN CINEMAS MAY 25 WORDS 1. Slide 15 is the title slide for this lesson. Slide 16 encourages students to be ready to share their Rumi-style poetic proverbs. These proverbs can be used as the title of their descriptive writing work, or can be a point of inspiration for the mood and atmosphere of this work. 2. The descriptive writing activity is outlined on slide 17. The Detail and description activity sheet will help pupils to start and focus their writing. 3. Slide 18 also provides support for students commencing their writing. Students write using a reflective writing style: imagining that they are Parvana and thinking back to their time in Afghanistan. At this point you may want students to create a success criteria for this task. 4. During the writing activity, encourage students to consider the 3Cs and 3Ss and how they can impact upon their work. 5. This learning sequence concludes on slide 19 where students are encouraged to peer-assess their creative writing using the criteria designed by the group and to share the best passages from their work. 6. An optional filmmaking activity is offered onslide 20, where pupils are encouraged to create a short film that represents their favourite proverb from the Poetic proverbs homework activity sheet.

Still courtesy Cartoon Saloon and Abrams Books Onward and Upward with the Arts December 21, 2020 Issue The studio’s hand-drawn movies—including its latest, “Wolfwalkers”—offer an alternative vision of what children’s entertainment can be. By Mark O’Connell December 11, 2020 n the seventeenth century, after wolves were hunted to extinction in most of the British Isles, Ireland was sometimes referred I to as Wolf-Land. The implication, perhaps, was that it needed to be tamed. In 1649, Oliver Cromwell’s New Model Army invaded Ireland on behalf of the Commonwealth of England, leading to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Irish people. The Army also appointed professional hunters to cull the country’s wolves.

  • The Secret of Kells
    ------------------------------------------------------------------- The Secret of Kells Introduction The Secret of Kells is a visual delight that is sure to inspire. Set in 9th Century Ireland, the genre mixes fantasy and adventure alongside history, cleverly using the story behind the Book of Kells. The hand drawn 2D artwork used in most of the film mirrors beautifully the handcraft used to scribe and decorate the manuscripts. This film has everything in it. Action and fantasy are cleverly woven into the historical events that surround this film. It offers a creative route into Celtic history and the Viking threat. This film demonstrates the importance of art and visual culture in severely difficult times. I would recommend that children know a bit of background about the Book of Kells before viewing this film and we’ve supplied some information to get you started. Curriculum for Excellence links covered by this resource Inspired by a range of stimuli, I can express and communicate my ideas, thoughts and feelings through activities within art and design.

    OFF THE SHELF North Olympic Library System 2210 South Peabody Street Port Angeles, WA 98362 RELEASE: November 27, 2018 DATE: December 5, 2018 COLUMNIST: Liz Duval, Customer Service Specialist RE: Animated Films for Adults ATTACHED: Liz_Duval.jpg les_triplettes21.jpg Song_of_the_Sea-cover.jpg FantasticMrFoxPhotobyWesAnderson.jpg Animation is not just for kids! Adults who love film, visual arts, or stories that are not traditional Hollywood fare, can find real gems in NOLS’ collection of animated films. These are some suggestions for animated movies with exceptional artistic merit -- in fact nine of them have been nominated for Academy Awards. France is one of the top producers of animation, showcasing unique versions of traditional hand drawn animation, an art form that is nearly extinct because of the time and cost associated. The Triplets of Belleville has a freaky surrealist style that makes it totally unique and the jazz soundtrack will have you tapping your toes. In The Red Turtle, lush landscapes overwhelm the viewer. Stop-motion is another exceptionally time intensive method of animation. Tiny “puppets” or figurines are built, costumed, and given multiple heads or faces for different expressions. Each frame of the film is actually a photograph, and between each frame the puppets are moved. This is the case for Fantastic Mr. Fox, which intentionally doesn’t use any digital smoothing to cover the jerkiness of the movement. Because of that, you can feel the handmade quality of everything on screen, a warm and quirky sensibility that could only be Director Wes Anderson’s (he returned to stop motion with his latest film, Isle of Dogs).

MILENA MILEVA BLAŽIĆ Somentor: DOC. DR. BARBARA ZORMAN SKRIVNOST IZ KELLSA – ANIMIRANI FILM IN SLIKANICA DIPLOMSKO DELO LJUBLJANA, 2018 IZVLEČEK Diplomsko delo obravnava animirani film Skrivnost iz Kellsa [The Secret of Kells] ter literarno adaptacijo v slikaniški obliki. Osredinja se na vprašanje ali oziroma kakšne razlike se pojavijo pri podajanju zgodbe prek dveh različnih medijev. V ta namen so v teoretičnem delu najprej opredeljeni ključni pojmi, nato pa predstavljeni literarna in medmedijska teorija. Literarna teorija je povzeta po delu Evropska pravljica Maxa Lüthija, osnova za medmedijsko teorijo pa je naratologija Matevža Rudolfa. Animirani film in slikanica Skrivnost iz Kellsa temeljita na zgodovinskih in mitoloških elementih, zato je predstavljena tudi intertekstualnost, kot jo opredeli Marko Juvan. V empiričnem delu sta animirani film in slikanica analizirana, teoretične postavke so aplicirane na primer, sledi še primerjava del. Kljub temu da sta obe deli izšli leta 2009 izpod rok istih ustvarjalcev, pri podajanju zgodbe prek različnih medijev prihaja do razlik, ki so opisane v nadaljevanju. KLJUČNE BESEDE: slikanica, animirani film, literarna analiza, medmedijska analiza, intertekstualnost I ABSTRACT The thesis concentrates on animated movie The Secret of Kells and its literary adaptation in a form of a picture book. The thesis concentrates mostly on the differences (if they exist) between stories that are introduced by two different types of media. For this reason the theoretical part consists of presentation of the key concepts, which is followed by literary and intermedia theory.
