LOMv1.0 idea ScOT 580 Civic responsibility ScOT 264 Communities ScOT 1388 Conflict (Human relations) ScOT 6726 Homelessness LOMv1.0 educational objective Educational value The children agree that a community is more than a group of people and attempt to define it. For some children the idea of community is about knowing other people, for some it is about proximity or physical closeness, while for others community is defined by the relationships between individuals and groups of people and a sense of connectedness and a desire to help or care for one another. Educational value The idea of communities within communities is explored. Examples of separate communities (such as sport or church groups) within a larger community (of town or city) are described. This idea is then expanded from a town community to communities of countries and a global community. Educational value The clip contains a discussion about social responsibility within a community and the effect that the size of a community may have on this sense of responsibility. It is suggested that in larger communities people are less likely to help others, and conversely, that smaller communities are more caring. Educational value The animation demonstrates how a philosophical discussion might proceed, for example through listening to one another, responding to and building upon one another’s ideas. The children’s willingness to listen, consider and reflect upon alternative viewpoints and review ideas demonstrates a high level of interpersonal and communication skills, and of self-confidence. Explaining and synthesising ideas during the discussion enables the children to develop and clarify concepts of community and individual responsibility in relation to the experiences of the group. Educational value The animation uses contrasting visual styles to distinguish contrasting settings. Animated Indigenous Australian imagery and earthy natural colours are used to illustrate cultural and historical connections between individuals, groups of people, and the wider community. However, discussions about city life are illustrated in a different style and with bright, unnatural colours. Educational value The children discuss conflict and the question of whether everyone can be considered to be part of a particular community. One child observes that enemies are a natural part of communities. Concepts of togetherness, cooperation, caring, conflict and separation are discussed. The ideas expressed by the children are reinforced through the animation that uses simple lines and shapes such as circles that bring characters together or that create barriers to indicate separation. Educational value The animation makes use of a variety of sound effects to support meaning and visual imagery. The moo of a cow links with dialogue and an image that relates to a move to the country, and the sound of a bouncing ball accompanies an image of two characters throwing a ball to one another. Other sound effects include soft voices, laughter, birds chirping, a church bell and the noise of city traffic including a car horn and the crash of a traffic accident. Educational value This clip forms part of 'I Think …', a philosophy anthology of 26 animations developed by the Australian Children's Television Foundation (ACTF). According to the ACTF website, a range of resources is available to support teachers in using the anthology.
