Bloom’s Taxonomy Questions for Films


 * 1) What are the titles of the films?
 * 2) Make a list of the events that happened in each film in order.
 * 3) How are the events in the films an example of oppression?
 * 4) Which elements of the characters in these films can be identified with an “oppressor” role, and which with the “oppressed”? Create a venn-diagram that illustrates the similarities and differences between the characters or things that play these roles in each of the films.
 * 5) Create a plot line for a short film that you could produce that demonstrates a status quo situation where the relationship between the “oppressor” and the “oppressed” mirrors the situations in these films.
 * 6) Do you agree that the characters portraying “oppressors” in each of these films are acting only as oppressors? What about the oppressed? What commentary does this make about social relationships between these two “roles”?
