(Questions to trigger ideas: How does this impact your life? In what ways have you seen these themes show up in the lives of your family, friends and loved ones? How do you see these themes play out on a national, or global, level?) Share your authentic opinion in your own words.

This should be a genuine, thoughtful question to raise during class discussion. Do not put it in “Yes/No” format, but in formats that generate dialogue such as “How,” “Why,” “In what ways,” etc.
