Which quotes in particular did Obama take from the Malcolm X movie?
I recently showed this movie to my advisory group in school. So many of the lines are still relatively fresh in my mind.
Hi Daniel,
What is an advisory group?
In NYC public schools, the new contract gave us 150 extra minutes to work per week. The way the time is being apportioned is to have a 37 1/2 minute time block of non-academic time at the end or beginning of the school day. Advisory groups can have different themes or activities. I'm collaborating with another teacher showing a group of students a wide array of movies, much of them classic movies, much of them relevant to the school curriculum at certain parts of the year. Since it was black history month, and up to this point, we've been mainly showing them a bunch of movies portraying mainly whites, I thought the students would be interested in seeing Malcolm X. This certainly seemed to captivate their attention a lot, especially when they showed him getting assassinated. They were so puzzled as to why they killed him and many of them came up to me and asked me about this.
