Hi class,
I hope you enjoyed Stand and Deliver especially as we prepare for the AP Calculus Exam in May. This is one of my favorite movies, not just because I'm a Calculus nerd, but I thought that it addressed some very important issues facing our education culture today.
For the blog assignment, please respond to two of the following questions:
- How did Escalantes approach his class at the beginning of the year? What was he thinking?
- Describe the adversity the students of Garfield High have to face in their daily lives.
- What did you think of the scene where Escalantes confronts the two ETS representatives about why they were investigating the students' scores?
- What did the students admire about their teacher, Mr. Escalantes?
- If you could play a role in the movie, which student would you be and why? Or, what character would you bring to the group of students?
