Quick comprehension check
“What is one thing you learned from a classmate about borders today? Explain how fear, as discussed in the video, can influence how people perceive and treat those on the other side of a border. Can you think of a time when fear influenced how you saw someone different from you? Describe how the story of Ruth, as presented in the video, illustrates the impact that crossing borders can have on a person's sense of belonging. Have you ever moved or changed schools? How did that affect your sense of belonging?”
