Objectives:
After this class, students will be able to:
a. reflect on personal experiences.
b. analyze how school community can help young people.
c. interpret character actions in movies.
Agenda:
1. Warm-Up: Students will answer this question in their notebook: Has anyone close to you, under the age of 18, passed away? What were the circumstances - accident, illness, homicide? How did this effect you? When a student passes away, how can the school community be a source of support? What do you think is the philosophical reason that people die young (i.e., it's God's work, karma, bad luck, etc.)? Write 1/2 page.
2. Today we will begin watching "We Are Marshall." This is a movie about a coach who supports and inspires students after a major passing at their school. As you watch, please take notes on:
- characters
- events
- theme
We will finish watching the movie on Wednesday and do a compare/contrast analysis between this movie and Freedom Writers.
Homework: There is no homework assigned for this class tonight.
