Questions on Filming Techniques and Representation

1. Before you show the entire film, show a scene without sound. Then have students discuss what meaning they think they see in the scene. Next show the same scene with sound. Ask the class to discuss how the director used a narrator's script to shape the meaning of the scene.

2. Why does the discussion of "assimilation" occur with scenes of Jewish children attending school?
