Ask students why they think people have prejudices against other races. Have
them create a dialogue bubble for specific moments in the movie, then have
them write a thought bubble to gain insight into the characters' feelings. Ask
English Second Language or French Second Language students to write a letter
home explaining what happened that specific day (“First, I arrived...,
then...”). Ask English Language Arts students to write a newspaper article
describing the events in the film.
