Classroom Ideas
Students can be asked to do research on Gwynfor Evans before they are shown the clip. They could be asked to express their opinions about S4C, having learnt that people fought for the channel, and asked to consider the importance of the channel to the Welsh language. The clip offers an opportunity to show learners Welsh television programmes such as Rownd a Rownd or Pobol y Cwm and to ask them to express their opinions of the programmes. Students could write a review of a Welsh television programme or a profile of a star from S4C.
