Know your subject! Being flexible and improvising is much easier if you are well read, and it makes your lessons more relevant and inspiring. Also, it builds students trust in you!

Storytelling can be a valuable way of self-understanding and how they relate to difficulties and challenges in their lives. Instead of just making stories about gangsters in da hood, I mean.

Actually, we started with a kind of "guide", of how to tell a story, and you'd be amazed by how they can create good stories. They are young, 2 classes with 9 years old kids, and 2 classes with 11, 12 years old. I think it's particularly hard to make them first go out of their comfort zone, but once you tell them that in movies everything can happen, they started creating things really amazing.

I've had students film other kinds of genres, guide lines to Swedish culture for instance. You can make lots of different things:)

Stories are great. But dont forget you always need a conflict to create interest. And of course an antagonist. It can be an evil shark, a villain or your morning alarm bell... But you need a representation of the conflict. Kids love fairly tales (and so do I) and they always have a conflict. Question is: how to teach kids to find conflict in their lives and film that :-)
