This Things Fall Apart, Part 2 instructional video also includes:

"If you want to bee it well, you must not stand in one place." The second of two videos devoted to Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart, the narrator focuses on the historical contexts and the "crossroads of culture," where traditional Igbo culture meets that of the missionaries, where "the European system of colonization failed to see human beings as human beings" and thus "wrought destruction in Africa and across the world."

Classroom Considerations
  • This video is hosted on YouTube
Pros
  • A great way to introduce honors and AP classes to college-level analysis of literature
  • Would work best after a reading of the novel and before asking class members to craft their own analyses
Cons
  • Preview to determine if the level of discussion, rapid pace, and side comments are appropriate for your classroom
