| 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.
Mo tells his daughter that the written word is a powerful thing. Why does he warn her to be careful with it? What effect can literature have on a person’s life? What negative impact can words have?
Aunt Elinor has spent her time living adventures in her library. What does she learn about embracing the actual world? Why is it important to balance fiction and fantasy with real life experiences?
What characters from literature would you like to be able to bring to life?
