Gabby Giffords Won’t Back Down

Gabby Giffords Won’t Back Down

For this powerful documentary film, Gabby Giffords Won’t Back Down, we’ve created a discussion guide and a Community Learning Guide. The Community Learning Guide is a new film-inspired resource featuring key sections to explore through the film. Each section can be used on its own or in collaboration with other key sections. The guide is flexible and appropriate for classroom use, community learning settings, homeschool learners, hybrid educational settings and independent exploration of the film. The guide includes robust background information and helpful facilitation guidelines to set the stage for a positive learning experience.

There are five key learning sections in the community learning guide. Each key section includes: a driving question, useful terms (when applicable), personal reflection, discussion questions, extension activities and additional resources. These sections can be used on their own or in conjunction with other sections in the guide. Spanish translations of both resources will be available in early 2023.

This guide features components relevant for civics classrooms, advisories and for any classroom setting/learning experience focused on career pathways, media literacy, psychology and much more. We highlighted this guide, along with other Journeys resource and outside resources, in an article on differentiated learning. You can read that article here: https://journeysinfilm.org/articles/differentiated-learning-resources-tips/. This resource was also featured by Share My Lesson in this blog on creating safe spaces: https://sharemylesson.com/blog/creating-safe-spaces.
