Have the class organize their own tournament or athletic competition to help raise awareness about an issue facing their school (for instance, bullying, racism or homophobia). Students should also brainstorm other ways to bring diverse groups or individuals together in a common environment. Film students can study the animation techniques used in the short and storyboard a project of their own based upon the film’s style and aesthetic.
