A Promotional Film to identify persuasive language and
other persuasive techniques What I will learn:
PREPARE
In this section you will watch a short informative film about an NGO (non-governmental organisation) school in Tanzania that educates some of the country’s poorest children.
1 MIN
Before watching, with a classmate, brainstorm a list of any charities you know that help children in Ireland or overseas.
Top Tip WATCH
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
Watch the film ‘Join Our Family’, about the School of St Jude in Tanzania. While you watch, make notes on five of the aspects listed.
Life/living conditions in Tanzania. Education in Tanzania.
The people who work for the School of St Jude. Facilities in the school.
How the school is helping Tanzanian children/families. Lopoi (5th form student) and his family.
How the school is helping the Tanzanian economy. How the school changes students’ lives.
9. Ways that people can support the school. 10. The school’s founder (Gemma Sisia) and her beliefs.
Now share your answers with another student and combine them. Then join up with another pair of students to form a group of four and combine all your answers.
When you’re making notes, only write down the key words and phrases to help you remember the most important information.
