Dear 6th Grade Puma Parent/Guardian,
To support our 6th-grade Social Issues Book Club unit, we will be viewing the movie Remember the Titans during part of class time this Thursday and Friday. This PG-rated movie will provide students an opportunity to see how a team and a town divided by segregation and fear overcomes their greatest obstacles and becomes unified. The players, their coach, and town undergo an incredible transformation as they continue to stay united while the sounding towns continue to pass judgement and hate. Our students will be asked to demonstrate their understanding of the skills we have been studying: character traits, themes, power imbalance, social issues, and progression of change, which are demonstrated in their Social Issues books as well as in the movie. Students will be asked to demonstrate this understanding in writing and by participating in thought-provoking classroom discussions.
If you have any concerns regarding your child watching a PG movie, please contact your child’s ELA teacher by Thursday, December 19, so we can provide an alternative assignment.
Thank you,
Mrs.Rogness Ms. Hecht
