Battle at Kruger - The use of Video To Educate.

The Battle Of Kruger video is profound on so many levels. It introduces the student to many of life's lessons. It shows perseverance and endurance, overcoming adversity and never giving up hope. A teacher could use this video with a grade 7 English class. The task would be to write about what the student has learnt from watching the experience. It could also be used as a good introduction to a discussion of bullying. Particularly in a class where bullying is actually taking place and the teacher does not want to point fingers. This video could lead into a very interesting discussion on the bullying angle.
