| 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.
Does a movie like this motivate you to seek a committed relationship? What are the depicted benefits of this kind of an arrangement? What negatives are shown? Why do you think the bulk of this film shows the many years of seeking love? Do you think audiences might find this more or less interesting?
Why are consequences for Dexter’s choices not included? What might the real physical and mental health risks be? What economic and social repercussions could result from this non-committal lifestyle?
This movie is based on the novel One Day, by David Nicholls.
