FP- How can you rewrite history?


I'm representing my Equality class taught by Sharon Holmes for Final Presentations. In Equality, we've discussed rewriting history and how that's different for all of us. Rewriting history is different for different people because of we all of different backgrounds and events in our life that have impacted who we are today. This can relate to your class, gender, and race making you who you are in the eyes of society.


I wanted to create a screenplay that shows the conversation between a teacher teaching social studies to a predominately white class, and how that is effecting a black student's education and family. This is just a draft, I'm planning to have the students or the black student create their own assignment that connects to their own history and background more.

 I AM rewriting history by writing this screenplay because I created a story of experiences that I've gone through in my life, and the characters look like me and represent who I am. Andrea is a character marking her own history and background. She discovers ways to communicate that through this project her teacher gave her. In a way, she rebels from what is expected of her.
