| 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.
Why does Simon lie about his involvement in NASCAR? Have you ever fibbed in order to make an impression? What problems can result?
What stereotype reversals were portrayed in this movie? How did Simon’s background differ from Theresa’s?
Why was Theresa worried about Simon meeting her parents? What part did family support play in their relationship? Can accepting a potential mate for your child be a difficult thing for parents?
