Notes

Who is the sandman? What beings do we recognize as having the power to create and give life? Examine social, political and other influential forces. Discuss roles in a society. Examine the diverse creatures in the film and decide how they all serve a purpose. As an experiment, students could use their class as a model for positive inclusion and assign everyone a job according to their particular abilities, without labelling anyone.
