Typically, if classrooms touch on this subject, they do so through literature. But, in part to honor the Learning Network’s 25th anniversary, we now offer another teaching tool: 25 short films, most under 10 minutes. A 10-year-old girl who loves to box. A Syrian refugee adjusting to life in a Canadian high school. The perils of being a child actor. Coming of age with autism. These are just a few of the stories about growing up featured in this new collection. They can open a window into other young people’s lives, and push students to consider their own. In our new resource “[25 Short Films for Exploring the Joys and Challenges of Growing Up](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnHherP4QTAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjMvMTAvMjUvbGVhcm5pbmcvMjUtc2hvcnQtZmlsbXMtZm9yLWV4cGxvcmluZy10aGUtam95cy1hbmQtY2hhbGxlbmdlcy1vZi1ncm93aW5nLXVwLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTUmZW1jPWVkaXRfbG5fMjAyMzEwMjcmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTA2MTg3Jm5sPXRoZS1sZWFybmluZy1uZXR3b3JrJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNDg0NDgmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmUdq5I7Za2b5lFSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~),” we provide an alphabetized list of the 25 films, with short summaries and running times for each, as well as related teaching activities to help students reflect, connect and even create.
