NOTE: over 10 minutes. This is a short film that would be great as a writing prompt or discussion piece to go along with the poem "Grandpa's Stories" by Langston Hughes. After a long time, a young 23 years old student, living and studying in the ci...ty, comes to visit his grandfather. Once he arrives to his grandfather's house and starts performing everyday chores, mysterious things happen – oranges appear out of nowhere. Eventually, the young man realizes that it must be some kind of a riddle. Will he find the answer in his childhood years?

This is actual footage of a grandfather! This is a home movie of someone's wedding in Portland in the 1930's-40's. This would be good to show kids what things looked like at that time period (cars, style of dress, houses, hair, etc.) as well as how... this short film tells a part of their life. You could also talk about the differences in the actual film versus our digital film today. This would make a great compliment to the poem "Grandpa's Stories".
NOTE: I would mention that more people smoked back then because they didn't know how bad it was for their health at that time (there are people smoking in the video).
