Scarlett

Scarlett is a short animation which tells the story of a young girl's struggle with amputation following her battle with a rare form of bone cancer 'Ewing Sarcoma.'  

Scarlett's true story is documented here. In the animation we see how her illness affects her emotionally as well as physically before she discovers, with the help of her mother, that she will still be able to do all of the things that she has wanted to do. 

​Teaching Ideas:

• Discuss with the children how Scarlett may be feeling throughout the film.  Pausing and discussing pertinent points. 
• Think about what Scarlett says to the boy sitting outside of the school at the end and create a passage of dialogue. (This could be performed to replace the film soundtrack.)
• Create diary entries writing in role as Scarlett
• Write letters from Scarlett to people who may need her advice. 
• Think about creating some inspirational quotes like the one below from Rev. Desmond Tutu.

'Hope is being able to see that there is light
Despite all of the darkness'
