Current Events bring relevance to your classroom. I encourage parents to first screen, then take their transition to scholar students to see the documentary Obama's America:2016.
Below are some questions to ask your young adult, should you decide they can view the documentary. Use or adapt as you like. Enjoy!
Obama’s America 2016
Dinesh D’Sousa
Orientation questions:
·
Do you consider yourself effective or
ineffective in identifying and solving societal or cultural problems?
·
Suggest a series of steps you might take (or
perhaps HAVE already taken) in solving a group problem.
*Say: You are about to see a documentary about two men who came
from a similar background.
The proposed subject of the
documentary is our current president, Barak Obama. The documentary producer is
Dinesh D’Sousa.
As you watch the first hour of the
film, try to ask yourself:
·
What did the two men have in common?
·
In what ways did the men differ?
·
Do you think the people who influenced a man
seeking the Presidency of the United States should be looked at before you vote
for the candidate?
·
Is a candidate’s family or cultural background a
worthwhile factor to consider before voting?
·
Can you explain the terms Colonialism and
Anti-Colonialism?
