Homework/What’s Ahead

Disney’s Pocahontas is a good role model for young girls.

Most kids learn about Native American culture/history

from movies and tv.

The Disney movie would’ve been better if it followed the real story

of Pocahontas more closely.

John Smith was a liar.

It is wrong for a movie to claim “based on a true story” if parts

of the story are made up.

It is our schools’ job to teach history, the entertainment

business should be allowed to do whatever it wants.
