The teachers notes accompany the nine film projects under ‘Our Short Films’ on the Change the World In 5 Minutes website.

The notes highlight the ways in which the films can be used for a variety of teaching-learning situations. Included are curriculum links, suggested levels, prerequisite terms and concepts, and a range of suggested activities and questions for in-class use.

These are presented on a film by film basis as well as broken down into themes and issues, including: sustainability, recycling, and communities.

There are fourteen pages of accessible information, which may also be photocopied for educational use.
