Master Harold and the Boys. Although it is portraying only a microcosm of relations. There
is a film of the play, but I think it would be rather impossible to find.

in winchester? what is the school like? will that get you in trouble?
well, a variation could be done. It's a good way to teach a largely homogenous population about differences that are only skin-deep.
no, i totally agree. and role plays teach more than any amount of talking is ever able to do. i'm sure you can do it, and call it something else if need be.... like cross-culture differences or something general and vague...
the BaFa BaFa game works well too, but that's for older kids - i'd say 12 and up.
Ony, your hubby is alright with me! Plays funk bass AND a teacher? Kudos to him. God knows we need more men in the classrooms.
I had totally missed Onyx's and Dys' posts until I saw eoe's reference!
I agree with eoe, Onyx, kudos to your husband. The country needs all the male teachers it can get its hands on. What grade does he teach? And, if applicable, what subject?
I am not actually a teacher quite yet, I'm in the gray area. I've taken and passed all my licensing exams, but haven't yet been handed a certificate. I'll be doing my student teaching (master's program) this fall. I guess I want an arsenal of video titles (on a lot of subjects) to pick from. If I come up with an issue I want to address, I'll have a handy list to go through. Not just vids either.
Anyway, this thread is also for my own broader education.
he teaches 5th grade, and his preferred subject is reading. Although, above and beyond that, his passion is peer mediation and bullying prevention.
He was awarded Disney's Teacheriffic award (trophy, and $$$$ LOL) a few years back for bringing a peer mediation program to orange county's school system, after which, Orange County procured an actual structured program to institute in all the schools.
Wow, can HE come speak in my future classroom!?!?!
5th grade. That's fine. 10 year old boys and girls need a man sometimes at the head of the class, encouraging them and at the same time, laying down the law.
I know a very good one. True story but it is not for kids. It is as good as Freedom writers. But it is more mature.
We've seen that one...but that one might be worth to own.
How about Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?

Noooooo, you read my post wrong woman.
http://www.sonyclassics.com/badass/ Here is the movie. Don't judge a book by it's cover.
It is about the making of this movie

It is very good.
In that case, so was "Superfly" and "Black Mama, White Mama".
Maybe you wrote it wrong!
Ok, maybe you didn't.
Quote:The film opens with the dedication, "Dedicated to all the Brothers and Sisters who had enough of the Man
and there you go with "The Man" again! OK, I suppose we can watch it.

I listened to the Curtis Mayfield Anthology yesterday and thought I might have to rent Superfly again.... yeppers. I think I will. What is Black Mama, White Mama about?
this is not going to turn into a blacksploitation thread now is it? lol

i can assure you that he would absolutely LOVE to. He would rather be a bullying prevention coordinator than a teacher.
