| 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.
Home Fries isn’t recommended for family viewing, but if you do have family members that see the movie, you may want to talk to them about it. Home Fries has many examples of people exhibiting anger in dangerous and exaggerated ways. What do you think would be an appropriate penalty for Angus and Dorian’s illegal acts? How responsible is their mother for what they have done? Finally, you may want to discuss why this movie is classified as a comedy. What elements in it did you find funny, if any? Would you find these situations just as funny if they happened to you personally?
