| 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.
Most of the actors in this movie are over high school age (for instance, Ben Foster is 20 and Sisqo is 26). Why do you think movies about teens often cast actors and actresses who are older than the parts they are portraying?
Do you relate to the high school environment created in this film? Do you think this is a realistic example of life in high school? Do you think popular media influences the high school environments we have today?
