More videos for Emotion Talks/ Building Resilience

The first video shows a tiny bird learning to gradually persevere to overcome their fears. It would be great to pause the video and create speech or thought bubbles for what the character is saying at different parts of the movie, including aspects of the sequencer. The signs are subtle, but you can see body sensations - for example, when the bird's tummy rumbles when he is scared, and the expressions on his face show him grow in confidence to becoming excited, proud and confident. I've added some screenshots under the video if you want to use some still images from the film - just right click to copy or save them.

 





This is a cute Christmas film, in which a snowman has to cope with the wait for Christmas:




This shows a character in a dangerous environment who is able to cope with the help of someone else:

Further sources for film clips:

  • Film trailers are published on YouTube and Vimeo - a good way to watch scary clips, or ways to build atmosphere.
  • The Kid Should See This - great to see awe inspiring videos for discussion/ further activities on body sensations or other aspects of the sequencer
  • The Literacy Shed - worth searching for a huge range of emotive films
  • Any posts on here with video clips are now tagged at the side (ETvideo)
