| 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.
Was Annie justified in lying to her mother about her job? What could she have done instead? Why is it so difficult to feel like we are disappointing our parents?
Annie wonders why people who have so much money could be so unhappy. Is this true of all wealthy people? Why do you think movies often depict rich characters in negative ways?
What did Annie learn from her experience? Over time, do you think most women would prefer to be married to someone who is wealthy or someone who is happy?
