Education
Ages 12 to 13
Ethics and Religious Culture - Ethical Values
The teacher can ask students to debate the question “Which behaviours are to be favoured, and which should be avoided, in the face of a situation that one considers to be unjust?”; establish links between the obligation to obey a law and the pursuit of the common good; practise dialogue about mourning; express their interpretations and appreciations of the film (e.g., subject put forward, parallel between the death of the father and the demolition of the neighbourhood, quality of the photography).
