How do you find information from the filmmakers for citation purposes?

This lesson is so real because it addresses real-life issues. Allowing students to first research individually before breaking into their various groups to sort and hatch through their ideas as each group focused on a particular issue. I love how the students collaborate to find out the root cause, problems caused, how those problems have spread into society, and how they can contribute to addressing those problems. In this video, every student's voice was heard and no one was judged for his/her ideas. It promotes healthy deliberations and problem-solving skills. It allows the students to engage in critical thinking which is the evidence that students have learned.
