14 September - 20 September

REFLECT / WHAIWHAKAARO learning intentions:

• We are REFLECTING...to review our understanding of the issues raised in the film 'Hidden Figures' (see term 1 notes) after our study of the Space Race and the moon landing in Global Studies.

Activities:
Week 8...Watch 'Hidden Figures', making notes on challenges that a character faces. Thinking question: How do these challenges impact on their personal development/ reaching goals, and how does their development impact on the progress of the space program?

This week:

Reflect on leadership:
Al Harrison : Within these walls, who... who makes the rules?
Katherine Johnson : You, sir. You are the boss. You just have to act like one, sir.
Reflect on the impact of leadership (good and ineffective) on a characters' ability to make progress (personal and in terms of the space program)

Reflect on how a characters’ actions can change the course of their life:
Al Harrison: Discovery isn't just for discovering; it's for survival. And that always comes with some risk.
Reflect on how a risk/ risks taken by a character allow them to attain their personal goals and what this achievement means to them.

Reflect on how people face and adapt to change:
Mrs Mitchell: I don’t make the rules around here...After Glenn’s launch, NASA’s dissolving the computing groups.
Reflect on how Mrs Mitchell’s attitude towards change differs from that of Dorothy.
