| 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.
In what ways can a parent’s attitude about a child’s handicap influence the way the challenge is met? Does Penelope’s mother’s protective approach help or hinder her daughter?
How can one person’s courage inspire others? What effect does Penelope’s decision to leave home have on Max and Lemon?
What does Penelope learn about self-esteem? What impact does her belief in herself have on the way she deals with life?
