Short films are generally engaging for students and can be powerful teaching tools with a little set-up. Of the six included in this HyperDoc, we are going to watch one. As we do so, pay attention to the different perspectives represented.
Write about the different perspectives you noticed. Try telling the same story from a new point-of-view. Consider your own perspective(s) and how they have changed.
Write about other lessons you could see related to this short film? If so, what and how might that lesson look?
Write about a problem you're facing, but from a new POV.
Write about a topic of your choosing.
Feel free to write wherever you are most comfortable.

Sign up on this GDoc for breakout time
From my colleague Dr. Michael DeSchryver, imagine this past spring from the perspective of a specific student:
What were your expectations as this class moved online?
How well did this class meet those expectations?
What did you like best about this class?
What were the three biggest problems you encountered in this class?
What emotions did you experience as you worked through this class?
If you could recommend two things to your teacher for the next time this class is taught online, what would they be?
