Essential Question
  • What is identity? What is culture?
  • What part do culture and history play in the formation of our individual and collective identities?
  • Why is identity important overall and within the film industry?
  • How do our intersecting identities shape our perspectives and the way we experience the world?
  • What does being respectful of other cultures, mindsets, and perspectives look like?
  • How do we remain true to ourselves as we move in and out of different communities, cultures and contexts?

A Room of One's Own

In this excerpt, Virginia Woolf declares that any talented woman born in the 16th, 17th, 18th or even 19th centuries would have been so hindered from sharing her gifts due to her sex--and if she somehow overcame this obstacle, her name would not have been tied to her work.

Text-Dependent Questions

Readers must refer back to the central text to answer text-dependent questions and provide evidence from the reading to support their answers. Students provide accurate, relevant and complete evidence. To do this well, students will often need to re-read the text several times. This approach privileges the text over prior knowledge, personal experience and pre-reading activities.
