Film Analysis and DRESS

While I am pulling students 1:1 to adminster the DRESS reading exam, students are analyzing three inspirational films: Finding Forester, Lean on Me and The Great Debaters. These films explore the themes of education, perservance, justice and discrimination, and finding your creativity voice.    Beow are links to our study guides/anaylsis questions of Finding Forester and The Great Debaters.  Students will write a one page paper answering the following questions on Lean on Me:

1. What methods did Principal Clark use to repair Eastside High School?

2. Do you agree or disagree with his methods?

3. Was he successful? Explain.
