| 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.
What do you learn about Victorian England from the depictions found in Miss Potter? How do you feel about that era’s view of the position of women and the well-entrenched class system that discouraged people from marrying others who were not of a similar financial circumstance?
Beatrix Potter left her real estate assets to the public, which are now administered by the National Trust in the UK.
