Students actively represented their thoughts by way of graphic recording (open linguistic and/or non-linguistic representation of thoughts) while watching one 15-20 minute clip from the movie "Hotel Rwanda" over three consecutive class sessions. Meanwhile, during each of these sessions an additional learning activity targets specific GLCE's & Common Core ELA standards to provide context to the narrative style scenes. GLCE's: 7 – H1.2.1; H1.2.3 ; C4.3.2 ; C4.3.3. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RH.6-8.1, RH.6-8.2, RH.6-8.9

Students actively represented their thoughts by way of graphic recording (open linguistic and/or non-linguistic representation of thoughts) while watching one 15-20 minute clip from the movie “Hotel Rwanda” over three consecutive class sessions.
