| 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 deadline is Mr. Brown facing? How does that impact the way he interacts with his children? What changes when he lets his children in on his problem?
How does Nanny McPhee physically change during the movie? Can our perception of others’ beauty be affected by our feelings for them?
What sacrifices does Evangeline make for the family? What good things result from her decision?
