Social Studies - The breadwinner task

In social studies we have been learning about the breadwinner it is all about a 11 year old girl who must risk herself so her mother and sisters can survive life in Taliban controlled Afghanistan. First we watched the movie about the breadwinner and then we had to do a task about that. The movie took about 2 hours we did't watch it for 2 hours straight because people kept being noisy and naughty. After a couple of days later of watching the movie we had to do a task about the movie THE BREADWINNER. Here is the task that we had to do.

  1. How old is Parvana?

  • 11 years old

  1. Describe what she looks like?

  • She looks like a Muslim because that is what he believes are
  • During the film/movie she changes from a girl to a boy because only boys were allowed on the sheets and only boys were allowed to buy groceries and ect…
  • She was disguised from a girl to a boy because only boys could go to prison to visit

  1. Explain what Parvana in interested in and how she spends her time

  • Pavana spends her time trying to get her dad from out of prison
  • Pavana spends her time selling things to get money to beg the people for her dad to get out of prison
  • She is interested in on buying food for her family to keep them not hungry and not staving to death
  • She is interested in on getting water from a well into a bucket for her family to put in cups to drink out of so they don't die and so they can keep hydrated

  1. What are some of the things that Parvana worries about? Identify and explain an example from the film

  • She worries about her family especially he dad when she goes to prison for example because she thinks that the people that took her dad to prison will kill or hurt him
  • She worries about getting food for her family for example because she is scared that people are going to find out that she is a girl so she makes a boy voice

  • She worries about getting water from the well for example because she is scared that someone is going to attack her

  1. Create a flowchart to describe Parvana's journey in the film


  1. Parvana is sitting down with her father in the market
  • Parvana’s father goes to prison from these evil people
  • Parvana decides to change into a boy to go out to the market
  • Parvana sells things to make money to go to prison
  • Parvana goes to prison to get her father and then she gets pushed away
  • Then Parvana decides to go as a boy to the prison and then got Parvana’s father but he was badly hurt

  •     6. Create a Venn diagram to compare and contrast Parvana with another character. Compare to her friend

    2. Hi Tyson, well done getting some ideas about The Bredwinnr down, I like your flow chart and the Venn diagram has lots of detail. Wht things do the girls have in common? eg: dress as boys for safety. The in common things should go in the overlao. Keep up the good work.
