| 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 is the script of this movie influenced by marketing possibilities? What genders and ages do you think it would appeal to? In your opinion, is it a perfect “date” movie? Why are action/adventure tales and romances such popular film genres?
When one of the characters in the movie talks about the things they want to do "someday," another claims, “Someday is really just code for never.” Why is it often the case that plans for "someday" never happen? What dreams have you put on this list? How could you go about realizing them?
