Writing Homework Help. discussion after watching movie stand and deliver
- In class, we watched the film “Stand and Deliver.” Hopefully, you saw a lot of what we’ve read this semester apply to these students. Answer the following questions:
- How does the idea of stereotype threat apply to and affect these students and their academic success? Think of both the school who thought that they could succeed and how they probably thought of themselves.
- Mr. Escalante uses the word “ganas” throughout the movie to illustrate the idea that desire is what they need to succeed. How can ganas relate to what we’ve read this semester? Also, what do you think the students desired?
- How does grit play a role in their success?
- Let’s think about the “Habits of Mind” article we read regarding the several traits, such as curiosity, responsibility and flexibility, a person needs have in order to truly succeed.
- Now, think about the school in general, and how many of the students, as well as the community, struggled. How does Malcolm Gladwell’s idea about the Matthew Effect, explain why many generations within this community struggled to find true success?
