Instructional Ideas

  • Expand on the video's information—as a class, individually or in pairs—visit the library and research online for additional details that explain the state legislatures that were mentioned at the end 
  • Assign a reflection piece, typed or hand-written, ask learners to share their thoughts and jot down any questions they may have 
  • Create a plan of instruction that includes the video during Hispanic Heritage Month which is September 15th-October 15th 

Classroom Considerations

  • If participants watch the video at different times, encourage them to use headphones to enhance focus 

Pros

  • Spotlights a non-violent protest
  • Real-life footage shows the magnitude of the demonstration

Cons

  • None
