Psychology214 students: please address comments and questions concerning these materials to the Blackboard discussion.
Not all these clips will be of equal use. I suggest you watch the first three SKZ clips ("The Bridge," "`Eid Sghir: Rooftop," `Eid Sghir: Zlaga") to get a visual sense of the place, then some family scenes ("`Eid Sghir: Kid's play," "Hamid's: Souhaila," "Hamid's: Yassine, game").
What strikes you about these scenes? How easy is it to imagine yourself fitting into one of these gatherings? What roles are adults playing here, and what lessons might kids be taking away? What more do you need to know to understand what you're seeing and hearing?
