My 8th period class loves watching movies that have a social issue to talk about. A few weeks ago, as a class we saw Under the Same Moon. A movie that speaks about a single mother that left to the United States to look for a better future and leaves her 9 year old son behind in Mexico. The boy grows anxious and leaves to look for his mother. This movie shows both sides of the spectrum when it comes to immigration.
The students all understood that at one point that could have been a family member or even them in some cases. This discussion was extremely important because it develops a sensitivity to immigration cases but it also shows of it effects society if an illegal immigrant is taking someone else's spot.
The students participated and very maturely understood that being an illegal immigrant is not good in the eyes of the law, but at the end of the day everyone is a human being and they should always be treated like one.
