I'm considering showing the film "The Woman King" in my World History class as we cover the topic of Imperialism. I'm looking to present a variety of perspectives, and while "The Woman King" isn't entirely factual—being part fiction and part history—I hope it will offer a compelling narrative to spark interest among students.
In my AP World History class, students previously learned about the Kingdom of Dahomey and Seh-Dong-Hong-Beh during the Revolutionary Women assignment. But for my World History class, the students have already covered significant topics about Africa, from the Columbian Exchange to Imperialism, so I am thinking of introducing the topic. Hopefully, this film will be beneficial for learning more about the subject.
Has anyone here shown this film in their classroom?
I am keen to hear your thoughts or suggestions on making this an engaging and interactive learning experience.
