F BLOCK "Last King of Scotland" Film Assignment

The class chose "Last King of Scotland" out of many options during homeroom!  The film is based on a true story.  Leaders can be intelligent, charismatic, etc., but sometimes can be overcome by power, paranoia, fear, anger, etc.

Student learning objective-
Students will identify and analyze the current issues, etc. in Africa.

After the completion of the film, the class will have a film discussion.  After the film discussion, even if it is that day in class, I will collect the assignment.  The assignment is very simple.  Record facts and quotes from the film.  It is based on a true story but facts should be things that happen that indicate real factors in Africa (geographic social, economic, political, historic, etc.).  Quotes that we record are spoken words that are so insightful that indicate facts, but are so interesting or powerful that we do not paraphrase.  Write the quote and what it means about Africa.  This part and facts need to be in your own words.  Google plagiarism detection software will be used.  Plagiarism results in a score of zero.  Assignment will be worked on during film 2/12, 2/22, 2/23 and will be collected following class film discussion on 2/24.  Here is how I would do it in 2 column notes!
