| 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 Juno’s pregnancy affect her in comparison to the effects felt by Paulie? Does he suffer any consequences for his involvement? What are the repercussions for Juno? What is the film’s overall attitude toward sexual activity among teens?
What difficult decisions does Juno have to face once she discovers she is pregnant? Are those choices realistically depicted? What other issues might arise for teens in this situation?
How does Juno’s family support her? How do you feel about their reaction? What kinds of agencies are designed to help in these circumstances?
