| 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.
How does Vince use the note from his wife as motivation during training camp? How does he finally overcome his doubts about his abilities?
While talent and skill is important, what other factors contribute to a person’s success on the sports field, in the music room or in an academic pursuit? How does Vince’s father, his friends and the little boy wearing his number help to motivate the rookie to do his best?
What things do Coach Vermeil and Vince have in common? Why does the coach give Vince a chance to come to training camp? Have others ever believed in you when your chance for success seemed highly improbable?
