Hi Nancy, thank you for sharing this story. I find it interesting the symbolism used in the movie and how it reflected Chinese culture. I like the idea of giving students a new perspective or a perspective in general about the status of women and concubines in Chinese history. I think it would challenge many of the students' thoughts and beliefs. I also, like how you incorporated it with art and students being able to create lanterns. I am definitely interested in watching the movie, however, what do you think about the students? Is it appropriate for high school students? Will it be difficult to understand? Is this something that you think a teacher would need to get approval first? Or do you believe it's a film that you can have the students watch on their own and just tie in with other material? Thanks again.
