Brain Superpowers: Movie Heroines for Thinking, Empathy & Analysis

This course studies eight 'brain superpowers'—ways minds notice, think, feel and decide—through film heroines (e.g., Elsa, Rapunzel, Moana, Hermione). Framed as media-plus-psychology education rather than counselling, lessons build vocabulary for cognitive styles, teach students to explain character choices using scene evidence, and compare how different approaches handle responsibility, rules and relationships.

This course studies eight 'brain superpowers'—ways minds notice, think, feel and decide—through film heroines (e.g., Elsa, Rapunzel, Moana, Hermione). Framed as media-plus-psychology education rather than counselling, lessons build vocabulary for cognitive styles, teach students to explain character choices using scene evidence, and compare how different approaches handle responsibility, rules and relationships.

Learning Outcomes

  • Identify different cognitive styles (brain superpowers) in fictional characters

  • Analyse film scenes and explain how characters' thoughts and values shape choices using evidence

  • Practise empathy by recognising varied responses to pressure and conflict without ranking styles
