School subjects
Have media and film students study and practise techniques that tell personal stories effectively through: sound, editing, and visuals. Have students write personal stories about promises kept and broken: why are promises important? Have them discuss the protagonist's choices, and the significance of his favour to the women. Have students compare cultural values regarding ethics, rites and rituals, and especially the challenges of living in a multicultural society.
