Commentary on the film: Automne
The metaphor of seasonal artisans will be a lot of fun for young children as well as older ones. Imagine in class with the students, characters representing the 4 seasons, Mr. Lemon or Melon for spring, Mrs. Currant or Hazelnut for summer. Invent the tools to cultivate their garden. Wind, rain, sun, bees?
For teachers often on the lookout for a book about the seasons, this short film is a lovely teaching resource to present the four seasons to students from kindergarten onwards.
