. Choose one moment from the film that stood out to you and explain why. Then, connect the film’s message to Langston Hughes’ poem “I, Too” and to the mask you are creating in class. What part of your identity do you want your mask to reveal?

After watching the short film and also reading the poem they connect by being confident in your identity and who you are. In the short film the people are divided into different groups and stereotypes when they are really all similar deep down.
