In the WIDE ANGLE film "Back to School," filmmakers track the educational progress of seven students who were first profiled in 2003. Has progress been made in achieving education for all?
In this lesson, students will learn about the World Declaration of Education for All and the progress that has been made. They will profile one of the seven children in the film and learn more about their native country and region. Finally, they will write in role, drawing together the information they have gathered and looking closely at the progress and challenges of EFA.
Grade Level: 9-12
Time Allotment: Four 45-minute class periods
Subject Matter: Social Studies, Global Studies
Students will be able to:
- demonstrate an understanding of the Education for All initiative;
- explore the life and experiences of one of the children featured in the film "Back to School" and research additional information about that student's native country;
- gather information from film and Internet sources and synthesize that information through discussion and writing.
