SOWIT Videos

​​​​​​​In support of the SOW Campaign, a series of videos (SOWIT videos) which integrates live-action, animation and motion graphics has been developed to illustrate 20 selected English sayings of wisdom (SOW) in a vibrant and entertaining manner.  Schools are encouraged to make use of the videos and the accompanying lesson plans and activity sheets to support the development of language skills and positive values and attitudes.

SOWIT Videos Resource Kits

Two SOWIT Videos Resource Kits are developed to synergise the use of these SOWIT videos in enhancing students' viewing and multimodal literacy skills and promoting positive values and attitudes in the English lessons. Schools are encouraged to make use of the teaching plans, sugges​​​​​​​ted learning activities and student worksheets in the resource kit to enrich students' English learning experiences and create an inspiring and engaging environment for the learning and teaching of SOW. While the resource materials are intended for use in the upper primary and junior secondary English classrooms, schools are advised to adapt the materials with reference to their students’ needs and abilities to cater for learner diversity.
