About this resource
In Windcatcher, ten-year-old Percy Boy Collins and his eclectic crew of friends outsmart a gang of bullies to triumph at their school's athletics carnival, emerging as heroes of their own epic adventure.
Developed for Years 5 to 8, this resource provides sequenced learning tasks suitable for a whole-class film study. Alternatively, teachers can select individual tasks to complement and extend a class or cohort film screening. These English tasks build students’ knowledge of viewing processes, including planning, monitoring, reflecting and reviewing. Behind-the-scenes materials and promotional materials are incorporated for student engagement and understanding.
