Movies reveal a great deal about us: our social and cultural tensions; how we think; how<br />
we behave; and the values we hold important. Examining representations of people,<br />
events, ideologies, and philosophies can help us understand our world and our immediate<br />
environment. The purpose of this guide is to assist teachers in using <strong>Bend</strong> <strong>It</strong> <strong>Like</strong><br />
<strong>Beckham</strong> as a classroom resource. <strong>It</strong> is suitable for grades 9-11. The guide is divided into<br />
three broad sections: Pre-Viewing that includes introductory information and topics for<br />
discussion that establish themes and situations raised in the narrative; Viewing activities<br />
that will help focus students’ attention on key select scenes; and Post Viewing questions<br />
that provide more in-depth considerations about issues raised in the film.<br />
