After you’ve watched your film, take to the texts we’ve been reading and to the web:
1. What is the central issue(s) presented in your film? Do these appear in any of the texts we’ve been reading this quarter? If so, how are the presentations of the issue(s) similar or different?
2. How does the film you watched further your understanding of the histories and contemporary issues around tribal sovereignty?
3. Conduct a bit of online research, are there any educational resources available that connect to your film? So, as an example, a documentary about the boarding schools would have several connections to online resources for teachers bringing this topic into their classrooms. As you search, be sure to pause and consider who is creating the resources should they exist. If there are resources, what grade levels are they aimed to engage? Share a bit of info in the discussion about what you find.
4. Whether there are online resources or not, let’s start chatting about use of films as learning texts. What are your thoughts on using films as texts for teaching and/or learning? What is it like for you to learn from watching a documentary versus reading a printed text? There’s a lot of good work happening to bring film literacy into classrooms, take a few minutes to search online and share some of what you find out!
5. Once you’ve answered #1-4 in your own ORIGINAL post, please check back and respond to at least ONE classmate — what similarities/differences do you see in the films you watched?Film Options:

Task 2: Post
Post a response on the discussion board to the following prompt:
Choose two ideas about student-invented strategies and/or traditional algorithms that you would want to hold onto were you about to teach addition and subtraction operations to children. For each, identify the big idea and then explain why it strikes you as particularly important.
