High School Musical 2

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.

Troy’s loyalties are torn between new possibilities and old friends. What does his father mean when he tells his son, “You won’t be a Wildcat forever?” What does Gabriella mean when she suggests, “If you act like someone you’re not, pretty soon that’s who you become?” How do you know when to act as a team player or when to pursue your individual potential?
