 Following the successful screening and launch of the Video ART Postcards - Lesson Plans for Citizenship, Key Stages 3 and 4 - Runnymede and Manifesta are pleased to announce that the Teacher's Guide is now available to download from the website. The launch took place at Channel 4 on Thursday 3 April and brings teachers and young people the opportunity to use the successful Video ART Postcards project in their classrooms to support discussion of slavery, racism and resistance.

The lesson plans contained in this Teacher's Guide have been devised by two experienced teachers and curriculum writers, Professor Chris Gaine and Cristina Bennett. All of the lesson plans  relate to the QCA Curriculum Guidelines for Citizenship, KS 3 and 4 and  address the majority of the suggested goals, including the key concepts of Democracy and Justice, Rights and Responsibilities and Identity and Diversity. It is intended that the Teacher's Guide be used alongside the website as each lesson plan uses one or more of the Video ART Postcards films. 

All the lesson plans are detailed with step-by-step guidance and are all planned to last one hour. They are aimed at group responses, rather than personal ones. It is hoped that some lessons will inspire teachers and students to develop their own multimedia responses.  We look forward to receiving  feedback and comments on the lesson plans.
