To give you a sense of how our Learning Guides can be used by teachers as lesson plans and by parents to supplement school curriculum or for homeschooling, we have set out below the first two sections of the Learning Guide to Gigi.
Description: It is Paris at the turn of the 20th century. Gaston is the
scion of a wealthy family. He is infatuated with Gigi, a beautiful
young girl he has known all his life. Gigi's family is poor; her
Aunt is a former courtesan. According to the custom in Paris at the time,
Gaston and Gigi's family could enter into a contract by which Gaston would
provide a large sum of money and Gigi would become his mistress. Hopefully
the money would be enough to last Gigi
for the rest of her life. After her beauty had faded or when he
was tired of her, Gaston would leave Gigi, as he had left his last
mistress. This was the world of the demimonde which led to
tragedy in Camille and
La Traviata when a courtesan
and a young man fall in love.
Gaston makes an offer according to tradition. Gigi at first resists entering
the demimonde. But Gigi is in love with Gaston. Does her fate religate her to the demimonde?
Benefits: The music is beautiful and the film demonstrates the
shallow nature of relationships when sex is traded for money.
This film can be contrasted with the tragic outcomes of Camille and
La Traviata.
The Learning Guide to Gigi also contains sections on Benefits of the Movie, Possible Problems, Helpful Background, Discussion Questions, Links to the Internet, and Bridges to Reading. The Discussion Questions are divided into three categories: Subject Matter, Social-Emotional Learning, and Moral-Ethical Emphasis.
