Documentary Project Reflection Questions

 1. Was there a specific scene that got to you? Describe and explain how it moved you (Angry? Curious? Delighted? Motivated?). Give a lot of detail, and really dive in to how it affected you. Don’t hold back. 
--The scene that had got to me the most was when they had a beautiful coral reef and then they transitioned it to a dying coral reef. I loved seeing the colors of the coral reef and then they switched it to a dying coral reef really got to me most. I am hoping these scientists are able to help save the coral reef because the wildlife need it and we need it. The coral reef is a home for these animals and it helps the people as well because the people fish and need to get food to live as well. The climate change is also a big factor in the coral reef dying and we need to find ways to save the reef. 

 2. What surprised you? Why do you think it caught you off guard? 

--The thing that surprised me was how alive this coral reef was and how vibrant the colors were and it was full of life. Then this coral reef was dying and there was no life in this reef and it just turns to a sad story and these group of people are trying to save the reef. 

3. What questions remain after the viewing? What feelings stayed with you after the film? Did they “pop up” in your life in unexpected ways? When? How? What was that like? 

--A couple questions I have are how much of an impact does the climate really have on the coral reef? My next question is how are we going to save the coral reef and turn it back into the lively reef it was before? And lastly, what experiments are these scientists going to do to fix the reef? The feeling of how are we going to fix this is going to stay with me. They have not quite yet popped up in my life in an unexpected way. 

4. Why might we avoid including research in our summaries? What could go wrong?

--This could turn into a research paper instead of a documentary project and we are supposed to watch the film and research articles about this. We are supposed to get a feeling in the trailer and not from other people and how they feel.
