Katy Perry: Part of Me

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.

Sex sells in the entertainment business. Is Katy’s message really any different from many other performers or is it just how she packages it that differs? Is her individuality expressed in the content of her songs or her appearance?

How many people in this documentary rely on Katy’s success as a performer? Who has she given opportunities to? How difficult would it be to balance interest in a person’s well-being with the need for him or her to succeed as a brand, in this case the Katy Perry brand?

What challenges do the unions of two high profile people face? How much do they differ from couples that are involved in other demanding careers? What sacrifices are needed to make marriage succeed? Do you believe that Hollywood marriages can work?

How does Katy relate to her fans? Do you think that reflects her feelings about having responsibilities as a leader?
