Alive and Kicking ( Study Guide)

This study guide to accompany Alive and Kicking (Steve Thomas, 2008) by Roar Film has been written for middle and senior secondary students. It provides information and suggestions for learning activities in English, Geography, Physical Education and curriculum projects exploring the concepts of belonging and community. Alive and Kicking is a four-part documentary series. Each episode runs for thirty minutes. The football club has always been the heartbeat of a rural community – a barometer of social wellbeing. If the local club is going well, everyone in town walks that little bit taller and no matter where you finish on the ladder, the beginning of each new season brings fresh hopes and dreams. The communities of King Island, Queenstown, Woodsdale and Beaconsfield and Beauty Point in the Tamar Valley, share a belief in the importance of fielding a football team and committing their all to making it a winning season. The challenges of keeping the club alive and kicking are many and varied but the efforts of the players, coach, trainers, committee and die hard supporters are rewarded when the town stops to watch the game. Alive and Kicking is a celebration of the world of country football. SKU: SG453 Visit our website to view thousands more products like this and order online at:
