“Gandhi, Non-Violent Protest, and Indian Nationalism” assignment (CW/HW = 25 pts. ) Students will respond to a writing prompt regarding the movie scenes. Option #1 You are a follower of Gandhi during the Great Salt March & Dharasana Salt Works Raids. Imagine what it must feel like to know that you WILL BE hurt, no matter how peaceful you are. What goes through your mind? How do you keep your cool? It was effective in the end. Knowing that, do you think you could participate in a non-violent protest? Write 7 sentences responding to and answering the questions above. Option #2 Write a (1 -page – 2 -page) short story about a non-violent protest that YOU organized and led. What are you protesting? Does the non-violent protest work? Describe how you used this method? You can include historical figures if you want to. You can include historical places. Be creative, but true to the definition of non-violent protest! Option #3 Imagine Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, and Martin Luther King, Jr. all got together for dinner. (REMEMBER: They all lived at the same times in history. Gandhi lived in South Africa for a while and Mandela credits him with many of his non-violent methods. MLK, Jr. credits both Gandhi and Mandela. ) What would these 3 talk about? Would they share stories? Write a script telling what each person would be saying (like a play) OR a short story one of these men might share. Either assignment should be 1 -2 pages. Option #4 On the formatted worksheet, illustrate a non-violent protest like the one in the movie scene. It does not, however, have to be of the Great Salt March or the Dharasana Salt Works Raids. You must include a 2 -3 sentence caption in the space provided. (Your caption should describe the facts of the picture that your viewer might not be able to get from just the illustration. )
