The World's Fastest Indian: Mentoring
Flick: A Working Tea in The World's Fastest Indian
This clip shows real work and real mentoring. When we work we talk and do. In the real world, we do and talk at the same time and in real work you are solving problems that do not have answers. It is by testing and re-testing as a scientist does that you find answers. This flick has lots of parts about being a citizen scientist. Also, it delves into how people who are experts may teach and instruct beginners in a ‘safe’ environment by having them do things they are doing with different and much safer tools. Mimicking is very powerful as is the power of informal learning with interest in both the person and the objects being manipulated.

Then, have the observer talk about the kind of learner they saw.
