Inspiring Videos

The Present from Jacob Frey on Vimeo.
This is a lovely little short animated film which would be great to use in class, and could be used in a variety of ways. You can also watch it here. There are ideas for writing at The Literacy Shed website. I think it would be great to use and refer to the Emotions Talk sequencer, as you see the range of emotions expressed by the main character, and you could discuss strategies for feeling better. It might be good to pause the video before the character opens the present and reflect on when we feel happy, then reflect on his reaction to the present. It also lends itself well for work on resilience and growth mindset.

You might have seen this on TV - It could be fantastic as a stimulus to discuss positive self talk. The Paralympics start on the 7th of September.
