| 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.
Despite his perseverance, Lewis experiences lots of setbacks. How do the Robinsons feel about his mistakes? Why do they say a person learns more from failures than successes? What other inventors have experienced obstacles?
What does it mean to take responsibility for your life? How can others encourage you to be accountable for your actions? What can happen when a person chooses to blame others instead?
Why does Lewis want to find his mother? What other people serve as role models for Lewis? What important qualities do these people have and in what ways do they become like his family?
