Our Friend, Martin Reviews
MS. BOURGEOIS #1 4TH GRADE GOT IT!
This was a SUPER video to put closure on the Social Studies lesson on MLK and Civil Rights Movement. My students enjoyed the animation. I liked the real life footage incorporated in the video. It was especially great for my second language learners because they could see what happened to change our history. Buy it, you won't regret your purchase.
Eh, Mediocre
Although this movie had a couple deep and emotional momements, the hokiness of the rest of it bled over that. The characters were horrible, the kids came off as kind of mentally hadicapped, except for maybe the Mexican girl. The obese kid and the blonde skateboard kid sounded like they should've been in a resource room. Because of this, the most disturbing points in the movie didn't deal with the mistreating of the African Americans, it was more of the blonde skateboard kids slow, sluggish manner of speaking and the obese kid's toplessness at the march in Washington. The celebrity voices only left me playing a game of 'yea, that voice sounds familiar'. Oh, and the running bit with the bad busdriver, first off it was inconsistent, second off, it's scary to show kids that a school district would allow a bus driver who can't stay on the rode, keep his job driving children to school. 'Our Friend Martin' does acheive it's goal, but it falls as being dumbed down for kid, and believe me, their minds need to be as sharpened as they can nowadays. Oh, and that Mexican girl, supposed to be in 6th grade, looks like she's 21.
