Belle is a movie based on the life of Dido Elizabeth Belle in the 1700's. It is about a mixed race woman who was born illegitimate but became an heiress in her time.
Dido Elizabeth Belle and Lady Elizabeth Murray 1778 by David Martin
The theme of racial identity was a driving force in the movie. It also reflected the belief about status and birth. The theme of slavery runs through this movie which helps students to see how life was during this time.
Here are the questions for Belle. These questions are geared to Grades 7-9.
I hope that your students enjoy this movie,
Blessings,
Natalie
