Eye of the Storm
The video of "Eye of the Storm" tells the story of an anonymous airship pilot, whom we see in a very dark, simplified form deciding in his melancholy to steer his airship into a massive (and possible ether-driven) storm. Throughout the video we see him preparing his craft, setting it on "autopilot", and saying goodbye to his one companion- a dragon.
Teaching Ideas
Give the children a list of questions:
Who?
What?
Where?
When?
Why?
These questions could spark a whole unit of work. I am sure your children will come up with a range of different ideas.
Is the man the 'dragon master?'
Why does the dragon have to be kept locked up?
Where is the ship going? What will happen as the ship goes into the storm at the end?
