Dear Manuel,
I am excited about your post because you wrote very well in your post
One thing you said that stand out for me is: “ I dream of making people happy and help them.” I think this is interesting because I want to this too.
Thanks for your project. I look forward to seeing what you write next because you did very well in this post. I want to read more story about you.

We had the privilege of finding this movie, and most do not know it existed as a teacher of AP Lit. An idea we had was to start building units on countries that did not exist, full of movies, films, etc and pass it on so educators would have an exciting portfolio of units that delved into diversity, introduce films many might not be aware of, and raise knowledge of films and issues individuals might not be aware of as well. This film was one we definitely included!
