| 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.
How does Charlie’s parenting style differ from his father’s approach? What do the men learn from each other? How does Charlie’s opinion of his father change?
Can you make a list of all the stereotypes portrayed in this film? What does the film want us to believe about the overweight characters? What about the little boy with glasses? How are rich people depicted in this film?
How does Charlie’s childhood memories of camp influence his feelings about his son going to camp?
