30 Days – Immigration

Encounter – Introduce and watch video, have learners take notes on things that strike them or that they would like to visit in discussion

Reflect – Discuss in large group, let discussion flow but be prepared with the following guiding questions:
•    What strikes you most about this video?
•    What kind of a leap is this experience for Frank?
•    What is he giving up?
•    Can you understand Frank’s worldview?
•    Compare Frank’s outlook before and at the end of his experience?
•    What can we learn about Frank’s worldview and how he changes?
 

Allow 50 minutes for viewing and at least 30 for discussion
