I would integrate documentary into my classroom by having students do a group project on a documentary of their choice (following a classroom discussion and viewing of a few sample documentaries). They would watch a documentary (one from a list of suggestions by the teacher to give them ideas) together as a group of 4-5 students and then respond to the documentary by creating their own. They would interview one another about their reaction to the film and ask them about validity, basis, theme, style, tone, etc. Having them do a documentary response of their own would be a great performance assessment.
