The Dreaming Tree

January 17, 2012

My students are studying early explorers and expansion into North America, and I’m really excited to do this project with them.  We will be watching The Mission in class, and then they will have a few essays in response to the movie.  Following the movie they will do a one page reflection that asks them to write as if they were a character in the movie.  It’s my hope that this film will create affective learning as well as factual learning.

PS.  To any teachers out there:  Much of this is adapted from http://www.teachwithmovies.org/, which is worth the $12 subscription fee.  If you want to borrow any materials like this that are my own work, send me a message, and I’d be happy to get it to you.
