Continue with creating documentaries with the fourth lesson in a series. After explaining the concept of preproduction, send groups off to make some decisions about their films. Groups can use the handout and the four provided questions to guide their discussion. Once they've spent some time talking, pupils should have an idea of what they want people to know, how they want them to feel, what they want them to think, and what they want people to do.
