Life - a short story of love 

'Life' is a short story about love.  A young girl falls in love with a boy in her class and this animation charts the story of their love as they find a house, have children and grow old together.

How could this film be used in class?

Writing stimulus for:

  • biographies,
  • flashbacks,
  • diaries,
  • narrative,
  • storyboards,
  • barebones,
There is a twist at the end - the story seems to have been a daydream.  I find this ending a little disappointing.  Perhaps the children could write an alternative ending.

Daydreams - This is a nice way of introducing a writing project based on dreams and daydreams.  I like to write daydream stories in UKS2 - story starts off in the classroom but can go anywhere and have anything in them.

The film is worth a watch, just to listen to the soundtrack - 'Hoppipolla' by Sigur Ros

This can link to the opening scenes of 'Up' from Disney Pixar.
