While most children in industrialized countries return to school in the fall, many children in underdeveloped countries, especially girls, do not because of the economic and social conditions that exist there. Neeraj from Rajasthan, India faces many hardships to attend school. During the day she, unlike the boys in her family, is responsible for the household chores. While they play during the day, Neeraj must work. At night she goes to school and often returns so late that everyone has gone to bed. In this video segment from Wide Angle, Neeraj passionately wants to attend school to gain an education.

The following Frame, Focus and Follow-up suggestions are best suited for elementary or middle school students using this video in an English Language Arts or social studies lesson. Be sure to modify the questions to meet your students' instructional needs.

What is Frame, Focus and Follow-up?

Frame (ELA) When we read or view stories, we are given relevant (important to know) and irrelevant (not necessarily important to know) details. For example, in Little Red Riding Hood, is it relevant or irrelevant that the little girl meets a wolf? Is it relevant or irrelevant that she carries a basket and not a backpack? What other details are relevant or irrelevant in the story?

Focus (ELA) Identify the main idea of the video segment you are about to see. Relevant details will support the main idea. As you watch determine which details are relevant to the main idea and which are irrelevant.

Frame (SS) Do girls and boys around the world have the same opportunities for education? How might going to school in another country be different from how you attend school in yours?

Focus (SS) What are some of the differences between how you attend school and how Neeraj attends school?
