Some of your pupils will be familiar with the sequence of books by Susan Cooper.
The Dark is Rising tells the story of Will Stanton, who learns on the eve of his 11th birthday that he is actually the last of the "Old Ones," a group of immortal warriors and guardians dedicated to fighting the forces of the Dark. The Dark is amidst its last great Rising to defeat the Light and take free will from the human race forever. Will, having been born with a great gift of power, is called upon a monumental heroic quest.
Film Education have released a site linked to the new film based on the book:
The Dark is Rising.
It has links to Literacy, English, Art & Design, Maths and History apparently!
