Discussion – Starter video of Tutor Time

We are delighted that our new FREE discussion-starter resources, geared for Sixth Form Tutor-Time, are being so useful for teachers.

‘I was able to pick it up and run with it without need for much preparation. The video was pitched well and the excellent questions, with their rigour and challenge, provoked discussion and insight.’

There are currently four Tutor-Time resources available on www.Take-One.TV and we plan to create a steady flow of new ones, based on the latest feature films and relevant topical issues.

Please email me at Kate.Laver@EthosEducation.org and I will ensure that we let you know when new free Tutor-Time resources are published.

Yours truly

LATEST FREE RESOURCES

Releasing on DVD on July 3rd, Hidden Figures tells the true story of African-American women working on the space programme, who overcame gender, race, and professional discrimination with their abilities and diligence.

Some of the key questions raised in the discussion-starter video and supported in the downloadable Leader’s Guide include:

  • Al Harrison, played by Kevin Costner, says ‘We all get there together or we don’t get there at all.’ To what extent is that true in our society?
  • Theodore Melfi, who directed the film, describes the women as ‘the heroes behind the scenes’. In our society, in what ways does the value placed on people in the media affect how we value those whose back-room roles are hidden?
  • Kevin Costner, who played the project leader Al Harrison, says ‘It’s a story of three women whose God-given abilities were allowed to flourish’. How might the belief that all abilities are ‘God-given’ make a difference to the way in which we value them, and allow them to flourish?

Produced in association with the UK Eating Disorder charity Beat and the Be Real Body Confidence campaign, this resource features Dr Elizabeth McNaught, the author of the best-selling book Life Hurts: a doctor’s personal journey through anorexia.

Some of the key questions raised in the discussion-starter video and supported in the downloadable Leader’s Guide include:

  • What insights about Body Confidence have you gained that you wish you had known when you were 13 years old?
  • Do we struggle with Body Confidence partly because, in this world of social media, we compare our ‘behind-the-scenes’ with other’s ‘highlight reel’?
  • What do you think of the vision that we should encourage people to celebrate what their body can do, rather than how it looks?
