Evaluation skills: Anna from Norway

Teacher notes

In the first half of the lesson, students will be introduced to Anna and will explore her home and her trials and tribulations at the Norway Kids' Cup competition. In the second half of the lesson, students will use the skill of evaluation and determine the extent to which they feel sympathy for Anna. Though not strictly evaluating the effect of language, students are asked to explore the extent to which the filmmaker elicits sympathy for Anna. This could be a useful starting point for students to practice their evaluation skills. **Lyfta core themes:** Community and Citizenship, Equality and Human Rights, Learning and Growth, Health and Wellbeing. **SDGs:** 3, 5. **KS3 and KS4 English skills:** Information retrieval Identifying and using suitable references Evaluating the effect of a filmmaker's choices.
