| 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.
What did this film say about gambling? How realistic was O’Neil’s solution to his betting debts? How can people get help for their gambling addictions in your local community?
Movies often leave unexplained gaps in the story line. For instance, how often do we actually see these boys practicing baseball? What other holes can you find in this movie?
