Essential Questions:

-Who or what are the 'hidden figures'?

Skim questions 1-10 on your group's copy of the 'Viewer Response Journal.' Keep these questions in mind as you're watching. We will answer the questions as a table group when we finish the film.

Finish 'Hidden Figures(2016; 126 minutes)

Each table group will be assigned a question to answer and share out.

Discuss your question with your table group.

Write answers on white board to share in Jigsaw.








Hidden Figures Day 2

Continue 'Hidden Figures(2016; 126 minutes)

Essential Questions to consider:
-What do the characters in Hidden Figures teach about dealing with adversity?
-How do the characters change during the film?
-In what ways to the main characters catalyze change in others?
-Who or what are the 'hidden figures'?

Read this film synopsis aloud before watching: 

Hidden Figures tells us about a generally unheralded group of women whose brilliance and dedication provided a foundation for the space program—the black women known as “human computers” who worked at the NASA Center in Langley, Virginia. Faced with obstacles to their own education and to job prospects because of race and gender, these women succeeded in earning places and eventually respect in a workplace dominated by male supervisors and colleagues, many of whom were reluctant to hire women, and marked by segregated facilities, from office to restroom, that reflected the pre-civil rights era. Their story is also the story of the world in which they lived and worked—the racism and segregation that made their lives more difficult; the beginnings of the civil rights movement in the South; the Cold War with Russia that gave such impetus to the drive for superiority in space; and the space race itself. 

Skim questions 1-10 on your group's copy of the 'Viewer Response Journal.' Have volunteers read each of the 10 questions out loud. All copies are numbered; please leave on the desks. Just keep these questions in mind as you're watching. We will answer the questions as a table group next class when we finish the film.

Begin film; record each period's end time on board.

2017-18 Day 2; Class Agreements Poster

Grab your name tag on the way in, please!

'Roses & Thorns' with your Four Corners partner from last class


Scedule check in: next Tues/Wed

Look at FHS STRONG Poster together


I want you to have a say in what our agreements LOOK LIKE:


1. In table groups, assign a Materials Manager, a Recorder, a Time Keeper, and a Task Manager.

2. Materials manager: please take one white 


board and a marker back to your table group


3. Write down ideas of what your group thinks each agreement looks like in the classroom. What are you as students doing to

show that you are being thoughtful, respectful, organized, neighborly, & generous? For example: our group feels that listening and not talking during instruction is an example of respect. 

Time Keeper: give your group 5 minutes per Agreement.



4. I will ask each group for their best example of each agreement & I'll put them on a class poster. If another group already used your example choose another idea from your group.
