The powerfully unsettling A Short Vision (1956) is this month's Show and Tell, in which four teachers discuss how they might approach using the short animation and its theme of nuclear paranoia in their different subject areas.

And why not get into the Christmas Spirit with some of the festive treats that Screenonline has to offer? You could start with the rousing Christmas Under Fire, which provides the basis for a series of History lessons on wartime propaganda (follow the link to Lesson Bank below).

You can also access a growing collection of starter and plenary ideas (Tops and Tails) as well as other lesson suggestions by following the links below.
