Hotel Rwanda Most people would consider Paul Rusesabagina from the film Hotel Rwanda a hero. We are now going to take some time to consider what makes Paul and other people heroes. First, let’s come up with a definition for the word hero.

1. What is a hero? Write your own definition below. Now let’s think about Paul and examine his heroic attitudes and actions during the Rwandan genocide of 1996.

2. Why do Paul’s Tutsi neighbors come to him for help? 3. How does Paul help these people? 4. List three sacrifices Paul makes to help other people.

5. Now think about Paul’s attitudes and actions. Think about your

definition of ‘hero’. In a short paragraph on a separate piece of paper, explain what makes Paul a hero.

Hero Profile Research Project

Paul Rusesabagina from the film Hotel Rwanda is a real-life hero who risked his life to save others. But there are many different types of heroes, some spectacular, others quite ordinary. Not every hero saves lives. Some heroes inspire other people, fight for what they believe in, or overcome exceptional hardships in their own lives. Objectives

• Learn about a real hero • Practice research skills • Practice organizing and presenting information

Task Using the Internet, you will research a hero and make a hero profile to present what you have found. Process

1. Go to the following website and browse through the list of heroes:

http://myhero.com/myhero/go/directory/index.asp 2. Choose a hero who interests you. 3. Read about this hero and make notes on important information.

4. Make a profile that includes a picture of your hero, information about who this

person is and what they do, and an explanation of what makes them a hero. Criteria Your profile must include the following:

• A picture • History and Background – who is this person, where do they come from, what do

they do, how old are they, etc. • An explanation of what makes this person a hero – a few sentences explaining

why he/she is a hero.

Paul Rusesabagina

Background Paul was born to a family of farmers on June 15, 1954. His father was a Hutu and his mother was a Tutsi, and so Paul and his eight other siblings, were a blend of the two ethic groups who had been dueling in a frightening rivalry, starting decades before Paul was born. Rusesabagina worked as the assistant manager of the Hotel des Milles Collines, before being promoted to manager of the Diplomate Hotel. At the time of the 100-day genocide, Paul was managing both hotels, as the Belgian owners of the Collines had appointed him temporary manager so that they could flee for safety. What Makes Him a Hero Paul’s bravery, compassion, and quick thinking during the 100-day stand exemplify heroism. Paul risked his job and his life to help protect 1200 refugees. He opened the doors of the Milles Collines Hotel. There he provided shelter to people who would have otherwise been slaughtered with machetes. Despite every death threat, the loss of water and electricity, and the constant watch of Hutu guards, Paul remained determined to care for and protect the 1200-plus people under his watch. Out of the 1200 refugees who spent the 100 days in the hotel, no one was killed or beaten. Roughly 8,000 people were killed daily in that time. Paul Rusesabagina is a hero because he risked his life to help other people. His actions saved 1200 people innocent men, women, and children.

Theme Collage

Task You must create a theme collage that depicts and explains important themes from the text. Your collage should consist of carefully selected images, which represent specific aspects of the themes you are exploring. Show that you understand the themes. It should also be somewhat attractive – it isn’t an art project, but presentation always counts.

Steps 1. Choose several prominent themes from the text. 2. Create a collage of images that represent these themes. These images can be cut out of

magazines, drawn, or otherwise created. 3. On the back of the collage, provide explanations for at least five of your images. These

explanations should identify what the image represents, and explain why it is an important theme in the text.

Front:

Images

Back:

Explanations

Assessment You will be marked on the overall quality of writing and presentation, and depth of insight.
