Look Again! A Teaching Guide to Using Film and Television with Three- to Eleven-year Olds

Published by the British Film Institute in 2003, "Look Again!" aims to provide eight basic teaching techniques for the close study of film and television, ideas for engaging children in analysis of moving image media, and arguments for the value of such work in children's learning. It outlines the close connections between teaching literacy and cineliteracy, details how to engage children in the early years in discussing different aspects of moving image media and how to integrate these activities across the curriculum in primary schools.

The guide includes advice on how to manage teaching and learning in early years settings, classrooms and across the school, a model for learning progression, and an extensive list of further resources and resource providers.

This guide is designed for teachers of children from three to eleven years old, to help them extend and improve the way they use and teach about the moving image media. It was developed by a UK-wide team of early years and primary teachers, advisers and teacher trainers.
