| 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 does Joe use to intimidate the other kids? Why is he able to make them believe in the “death ring”? What does Billy discover about Joe’s reasons for bullying?
Why are “new kids” often picked on? What can you do to help new arrivals feel welcome in your school, community or church?
What struggles do Billy and his father share? Can moving be hard for adults as well? What things can a family do to make a move easier for everyone?
