| How We Determine Our Grades | |
After watching a movie with your children or students, we encourage parents and teachers to look for education opportunities to teach with movies. Here are a few discussion topics that can help with lesson plans or teaching in the home.
Do films such as this one give audiences a better understanding of the animals or environments that are depicted? Can this kind of knowledge help contribute to the protection and preservation of endangered species or habitats?
What similarities did you find between Oscar and human babies? How do the animals use tools to help them in their everyday activities? Are there other creatures that also use tools?
