We used this film to practice noticing and identifying
when social injustices are present. As the students watched they had silent
conversations with their partners through note passing. Their
conversations were guided by the following questions:
What seems fair? What seems unfair? What pressures are put on the characters and how do they respond? What does the filmmaker want us to feel while watching this film and why?
What seems fair? What seems unfair? What pressures are put on the characters and how do they respond? What does the filmmaker want us to feel while watching this film and why?
These questions led us to discuss the social issues of power, education, family, and gender.
This was a powerful film and evoked such deep conversations. I hope you have an opportunity to watch and talk with your child about it!Binta and the Great Idea
