Using The Rubric

The Simpsons: Season 20 Episode 2
Lost Verizon

Bart feels left out after realising he is the only kid in this day and age without a cell phone, so he tries to work in a country club as a golf ball finder to earn money for it. He then finds Denis Leary's phone instead.

Belonging related materials are everywhere. While this activity does not endorse popular sitcoms as a suitable choice, it does allow us the opportunity to see how we can identify the role that Belonging places in our everyday lives. 

After viewing the episode, answer the following questions from the Rubric with a partner. 
  • How has context (personal, cultural, historical and social) shaped perceptions of belonging?
  • How can a sense of belonging emerge from the connections made with people, places, groups, communities and the larger world
  • How can aspects of belonging be considered in terms of experiences and notions of identity, relationships, acceptance and understanding?
