This short documentary is a portrait of Andrew Qappik, a world-renowned Inuit printmaker from Pangnirtung, Nunavut. Originally inspired by images in the comic books he read as a child, Andrew now finds his subjects in the stories, traditions and day-to-day events of his world. In I Can Make Art Like Andrew Qappik, he captivates his student audience by creating a soapstone relief print before their very eyes. Then it's the kids' turn. They explore Andrew's symbolic imagery - and their own - as they each create a self-portrait relief point.

Have students research genetic alteration, then have them research the current status of genetic alteration and compare with the documentary’s predictions. Draw conclusions about the reliability of scientific predicting. Using Four Corners, Thinking Hats, Value Lines or other strategies, share opinions about genetic alteration. Formally debate the biological and ethical issues. Students can then devise strategies to influence government decisions. Media students can examine the way the film expresses its point of view.
